This article covers ground-breaking utilization of 3D printing for glucose biosensors. The researchers used a method called “direct-ink-writing’ which allows nanoscale designs on biofilm which can be placed onto the skin of the user, reading sweat to analyze glucose. Due to the nanoscale of the design, it had increased sensitivity than older models of biosensors. If successful on large scale, this can eliminate the necessity of harmful finger sticks which are standard of care at the moment.
