The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with wearable bioelectronics is revolutionizing digital healthcare by enabling proactive, personalized, and data-driven medical solutions. These advanced devices, equipped with multimodal sensors and AI-powered analytics, facilitate real-time monitoring of physiological and biochemical parameters-such as cardiac activity, glucose levels, and biomarkers-allowing for early disease detection, chronic condition management, and precision therapeutics. By shifting healthcare from reactive to preventive paradigms, AI-driven wearables address critical challenges, including rising chronic disease burdens, aging populations, and healthcare accessibility gaps. However, their widespread adoption faces technical, ethical, and regulatory hurdles, such as data interoperability, privacy concerns, algorithmic bias, and the need for robust clinical validation. This review comprehensively examines the current state of AI-enhanced wearable bioelectronics, covering (1) foundational technologies in sensor design, AI algorithms, and energy-efficient hardware; (2) applications in continuous health monitoring, diagnostics, and personalized interventions; (3) key challenges in scalability, security, and regulatory compliance; and (4) future directions involving 5G, the IoT, and global standardization efforts. We highlight how these technologies could democratize healthcare through remote patient monitoring and resource optimization while emphasizing the imperative of interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure equitable, secure, and clinically impactful deployment. By synthesizing advancements and critical gaps, this review aims to guide researchers, clinicians, and policymakers toward responsible innovation in the next generation of digital healthcare.

The development and multiple bio-applications of chiral MXene nanosheets and derived quantum dots-based heterostructures as next-generation plant biostimulants are recently reported in Small for the first time. This chirality-induction came at a critical juncture in the field, as the safety efficacy of synthetic low-dimensional materials, including MXenes, challenges their clinical, agricultural, and environmental translatability. Using a rational surface engineering and structural-modification strategy, distinct left- or right-handed chiral MXenes are developed.

Herein, an implantable, miniature biohybrid device has been developed that utilizes light-dependent ion-gradient formation by genetically engineered human designer cells, expressing light-activated ion channels and proton pumps to generate electrical potential and deliver electrical energy. These designer cells are cultured in custom-designed polycarbonate chambers, connected by electrodes and separated from an ion reservoir by a proton-selective Nafion membrane. Upon illumination, the light-activated channels and pumps on the designer cells establish a sustained proton gradient across the Nafion membrane, which drives an electrical current in the external circuit.

Soft bioelectronics have attracted increasing attention owing to their promising applications in electronic skin, wearable devices, and biomedical electronics. Hydrogels are particularly promising as bioelectronic interface materials due to their biocompatibility and mechanical properties that closely resemble those of biological tissues. However, conventional preformed hydrogels often struggle to maintain stable adhesion, particularly in areas with dense hair, which can hinder reliable bioelectrical signal collection.

Importance: Chronic pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and conventional pharmacologic treatments are often limited by side effects, inadequate efficacy, and risk of dependency. Non-invasive neuromodulation therapies such as TENS and EMS offer alternatives but are traditionally constrained by fixed stimulation protocols and low user engagement.
Objective: To evaluate the 24-month real-world effectiveness of EcoAI™, an AI-driven wearable system delivering adaptive TENS and EMS for chronic pain management in community settings.
