Wearable sensors for noninvasive monitoring of physiological parameters is a growing technology in the clinical field. Especially in neonates, the development of portable and nonharmful monitoring devices is urgently needed because they cannot provide any feedback about discomfort or health complaints. However, in infant monitoring, only wearable sensors measuring physical parameters for vital signs have been developed. Here, we describe the first chemical wearable sensor for newborn monitoring. This fully integrated pacifier operates as a portable wireless device toward noninvasive chemical monitoring in the infant's saliva. The infant's mouth movements on the pacifier result in efficient saliva pumping and promote unidirectional flow from the mouth to the electrochemical chamber. The integrated electrochemical detection chamber, containing the enzymatic biosensor, is located outside of the oral cavity. The capabilities of the platform were studied for glucose detection in diabetic adults and compared to their blood levels with good correlation, demonstrating the sensor's good performance. This baby-friendly device integrates saliva sampling with electrochemical sensing, along with miniaturized wireless electronics on a single pacifier platform. Such integration simplifies the infant's health monitoring in a real-time and selective fashion, representing the first wearable sensor focusing on chemical saliva sensing in newborns. This initial demonstration of glucose monitoring introduces new possibilities for metabolites monitoring in infants and neonates using saliva as a noninvasive sample.
