Machine Learning Assists in the Design and Application of Microneedles

Microneedles (MNs), characterized by their micron-sized sharp tips, can painlessly penetrate the skin and have shown significant potential in disease treatment and biosensing. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the design and application of MNs have experienced substantial innovation aided by machine learning (ML). This review begins with a brief introduction to the concept of ML and its current stage of development. Subsequently, the design principles and fabrication methods of MNs are explored, demonstrating the critical role of ML in optimizing their design and preparation. Integration between ML and the applications of MNs in therapy and sensing were further discussed. Finally, we outline the challenges and prospects of machine learning-assisted MN technology, aiming to advance its practical application and development in the field of smart diagnosis and treatment.
