Abstract
Diabetes currently affects approximately 500 million people worldwide and is one of the most common causes of mortality in the United States. To diagnose and monitor diabetes, finger-prick blood glucose testing has long been used as the clinical gold standard. For diabetes treatment, insulin is typically delivered subcutaneously through cannula-based syringes, pens, or pumps in almost all type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients and some type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. These painful, invasive approaches can cause non-adherence to glucose testing and insulin therapy. To address these problems, researchers have developed miniaturized blood glucose testing devices as well as microfluidic platforms for non-invasive glucose testing through other body fluids. In addition, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin levels, and cellular biomechanics-related metrics have also been considered for microfluidic-based diabetes diagnosis. For the treatment of diabetes, insulin has been delivered transdermally through microdevices, mostly through microneedle array-based, minimally invasive injections. Researchers have also developed microfluidic platforms for oral, intraperitoneal, and inhalation-based delivery of insulin. For T2D patients, metformin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and GLP-1 receptor agonists have also been delivered using microfluidic technologies. Thus far, clinical studies have been widely performed on microfluidic-based diabetes monitoring, especially glucose sensing, yet technologies for the delivery of insulin and other drugs to diabetic patients with microfluidics are still mostly in the preclinical stage. This article provides a concise review of the role of microfluidic devices in the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes, as well as the delivery of pharmaceuticals to treat diabetes using microfluidic technologies in the recent literature.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus accompanies an abnormally high glucose level in the bloodstream. Early diagnosis and proper glycemic management of blood glucose are essential to prevent further progression and complications. Biosensor-based colorimetric detection has progressed and shown potential in portable and inexpensive daily assessment of glucose levels because of its simplicity, low-cost, and convenient operation without sophisticated instrumentation. Colorimetric glucose biosensors commonly use natural enzymes that recognize glucose and chromophores that detect enzymatic reaction products. However, many natural enzymes have inherent defects, limiting their extensive application. Recently, nanozyme-based colorimetric detection has drawn attention due to its merits including high sensitivity, stability under strict reaction conditions, flexible structural design with low-cost materials, and adjustable catalytic activities. This review discusses various nanozyme materials, colorimetric analytic methods and mechanisms, recent machine learning based analytic methods, quantification systems, applications and future directions for monitoring and managing diabetes.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of infectious diseases is critical because it can greatly increase recovery rates and prevent the spread of diseases such as COVID-19; however, in many areas with insufficient medical facilities, the timely detection of diseases is challenging. Conventional medical testing methods require specialized laboratory equipment and well-trained operators, limiting the applicability of these tests. Microfluidic point-of-care (POC) equipment can rapidly detect diseases at low cost. This technology could be used to detect diseases in underdeveloped areas to reduce the effects of disease and improve quality of life in these areas. This review details microfluidic POC equipment and its applications. First, the concept of microfluidic POC devices is discussed. We then describe applications of microfluidic POC devices for infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, tumors (cancer), and chronic diseases, and discuss the future incorporation of microfluidic POC devices into applications such as wearable devices and telemedicine. Finally, the review concludes by analyzing the present state of the microfluidic field, and suggestions are made. This review is intended to call attention to the status of disease treatment in underdeveloped areas and to encourage the researchers of microfluidics to develop standards for these devices.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective and versatile sensing system for simultaneous and rapid quantitation of multiple targets is highly demanded for environmental surveillance, food safety inspection, home healthcare, etc. This work reports on (1) paper-based microarrays relying on fluorescence turn-off of carbon nanodots (CDs) for analyte recognition and (2) a stand-alone smartphone-based portable reader (SBR) installed with a custom-designed APP (SBR-App), which can accurately and reproducibly acquire fluorescence change from the microarray chip, automatically report the results, generate and share the reports via wireless network. Simultaneous detection of Hg2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ in the Pearl River water samples was achieved with the reported sensing system. End-user operation is limited to pipet samples to the microarray chip, insert the chip to the SBR, and open the SBR-App to acquire an image 5 min after sample introduction. There is no requirement for complicated sample pre-treatment and expensive equipment except for a smartphone. This versatile and cost-effective smartphone-based sensing system featured with reliability and simplicity is ideally suited for user- and eco-friendly point-of-need detection in resource-constrained environments.

Abstract
Advances in mobile biosensors, integrating developments in materials science and instrumentation, are fueling an expansion in health data being collected and analyzed in decentralized settings. For example, semiconductor-based sensors are enabling measurement of vital signs, and microfluidic-based sensors are enabling measurement of biochemical markers. As biosensors for mobile health are becoming increasingly paired with smart devices, it will become critical for researchers to design biosensors - with appropriate functionalities and specifications - to work seamlessly with accompanying connected hardware and software. This article describes recent research in biosensors, as well as current mobile health devices in use, as classified into four distinct system architectures that take into account the biosensing and data processing functions required in personal mobile health devices. We also discuss the path forward for integrating biosensors into smartphone-based mobile health devices.

Abstract
In this work, we developed the first ultrasound technique enhanced smartphone application for highly sensitive determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The measurement technique is based on the change in color intensity due to the transformation of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to oxidized tetramethylbenzidine (oxTMB) by the oxidation process with hydroxyl radical (OH˙) from the oxidation etching of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and its ultrasound usability. The oxTMB product occurs without peroxidase and can be detected with a saturation channel using HSV methodology via the application of a smartphone. To prove the peroxidase mimic property, our proposed method was also validated by determination of certain biomolecules, including glucose, uric acid, acetylcholine and total cholesterol, of which the known amounts are a valuable diagnostic tool. The proposed method provided the lowest limits of detection (LOD) of 2.0, 5.0, 12.50, 7.50, and 10.0 nmol L−1 for H2O2, glucose, uric acid, acetylcholine, and cholesterol, respectively, when compared with LODs obtained from other smartphone colorimetric methods. Reproducibility was calculated from the detection of H2O2 at 25.0 and 50.0 nmol L−1 with the highest standard deviations of 3.47 and 4.58%, respectively. Additionally, the determination of all analytes in human urine samples indicated recoveries in the range of 96–104% with the highest relative standard deviation of 3.98%, offering high accuracy and precision. Our research shows the novel compatibility of basic technology and chemical methodology with green chemistry principles by reducing a high-power process and organic solvent as well as exhibiting good colorimetric performance and effective sensitivity and selectivity. Thus, our developed method can be applied for point-of-care medical diagnosis. In this work, we developed the first ultrasound technique enhanced smartphone application for highly sensitive determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).![]()
