Abstract
The rapid evolution of wearable technology has paved the way for innovative approaches in personalized medicine, including the continuous monitoring of drug metabolism. This study explores the design, implementation, and clinical implications of smart wearable devices for real-time monitoring of drug metabolism. With a focus on the integration of biosensor technology, advanced data analytics, and wireless communication systems, our research assesses how these devices can track metabolic markers and drug levels in the body with high precision. The manuscript details the design considerations, technological frameworks, and validation methods used to evaluate the performance of wearable sensors under various physiological conditions. A comprehensive literature review—spanning early developments to advancements reported up to 2020—is presented to situate the current study within the broader context of wearable health technology. Our findings indicate that smart wearable devices not only offer significant potential for real-time pharmacokinetic profiling but also enable proactive adjustments to therapy regimes, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes and patient safety. The implications of this research underscore the transformative impact of wearable devices in clinical pharmacology and personalized healthcare, while also identifying future directions for optimizing sensor accuracy and expanding application domains.
