Abstract

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) associated with cardiovascular, neurological, and gastrointestinal disorders remain a leading cause of global mortality, sounding the alarm for the urgent need for better diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. Wearable and implantable biointegrated electronics offer a groundbreaking solution, combining real-time, high-resolution monitoring with innovative treatment capabilities tailored to specific organ functions. In this comprehensive review, we focus on the diseases affecting the brain, heart, gastrointestinal organs, bladder, and adrenal gland, along with their associated physiological parameters. Additionally, we provide an overview of the characteristics of these parameters and explore the potential of bioelectronic devices for in situ sensing and therapeutic applications and highlight the recent advancements in their deployment across specific organs. Finally, we analyze the current challenges and prospects of implementing closed-loop feedback control systems in integrated sensor-therapy applications. By emphasizing organ-specific applications and advocating for closed-loop systems, this review highlights the potential of future bioelectronics to address physiological needs and serves as a guide for researchers navigating the interdisciplinary fields of diagnostics, therapeutics, and personalized medicine.
