[Excerpt] The rapid advancement in biosensing devices is driven by the growing need to continuously monitor human health data and predict the onset of chronic diseases at an early stage. These devices leverage a variety of sensors designed for continuous monitoring of physiological and biochemical markers, often integrated into wearable or implantable patches [1]. Among these sensors, the temperature sensors are playing an important role. Resistive temperature detectors (RTD), which explore the electrical resistance variation caused by temperature change, are one of the most commonly used sensors for temperature measurement due to their small size, fast response, high accuracy, and high linearity [2,3]. Consequently, these type of sensors are excellent candidates for different applications, ranging from wearables for temperature sensing in human skin (helping in diagnose diseases, avoid accidents, and provide information about the surrounding environment) to preclinical nanomedicine studies, as integrated in microfluidic organ-on-chip (OoC) platforms for control temperature environment of cells and tissues.
