Abstract

This review explores the advancements in polymer‐based sensors for blood analysis, emphasizing the online detection of key blood components such as uric acid, creatinine, urea, bilirubin, cholesterol, total proteins, amino acids and hormones. It categorizes polymer sensors into electrochemical, optical and molecularly imprinted polymers, providing insights into their working mechanisms and advantages in biomarker identification. Recent innovations are highlighted to evaluate the current state of sensor technology in terms of selectivity, sensitivity and real‐time monitoring capabilities. Challenges such as stability issues, biofouling and compliance are also addressed. The review underscores the transformative potential of these sensors in blood diagnostics, emphasizing their role in enhancing patient care through convenient point‐of‐care healthcare testing. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
