In early 1990s, microfluidics technology was mainly aiming at the
manipulation of fluids in micro-scale and nanoscale. At present, with the
development of microfluidics, it has been widely used in the life science and
medical researches with significant achievements. The microfluidics technology
can be used in single cell capture, cell screening, and synthesis of
biomacromolecules. Some microfluidic chips have already been commercialized and
applied in disease detection, drug delivery and bioscience. However, the physical index oriented wearable
technology ignored another part of the most important indications in health
monitoring i.e. the body fluid. The body fluid in this review refers to the
blood, sweat, interstitial fluid, saliva, tears, and urine. The current medical
procedures for the testing of body fluid involve using highly sophisticated instrument
such as atomic absorption spectrometry, ion chromatography and gas
chromatograph for the detection of specific targets in body fluid. For correct detection of changes in body fluids, it
is necessary to intervene in body fluids naturally. Physical fatigue is known
to have a direct effect on body fluids. For this reason, microfluidic chips are
used in experiments after exercise. Also exercise; diabetes, cancer,
cardiovascular disease, muscle, immune, and age-related decline in cognitive
function have been documented against the protect. In addition, regular
physical exercise is the most powerful initiative known to have positive
effects on health and aging.
