First, there were devices attached to smartphone cases, then wearables connected to smartphones. Late,r even skin patches and continuous glucose monitoring devices, but combining all these? Researchers have developed a self-powered microneedle patch to monitor a range of health biomarkers without drawing blood or relying on batteries or external devices. "In proof-of-concept testing with synthetic skin, the researchers demonstrated that the patches could collect biomarker samples over periods ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours."

Fascinating innovation 👌 As an auditor, I see huge potential here — not just for efficiency in healthcare, but for trust and transparency. A self-powered microneedle patch that can capture biomarkers without needles or blood draws sounds like a breakthrough for patients. But the real value will come when accuracy, repeatability, and data integrity are proven at scale.

If this scales safely to humans, it could make lab visits and finger pricks almost obsolete. The idea of a monthly patch that tracks everything is wild but definitely exciting! Bertalan Meskó, MD, PhD
