    Next-generation non-invasive biochemical wearables seem promising in transforming healthcare by providing real-time, continuous monitoring of biochemical markers. Various non-invasive methods include smart tattoos, microneedle patches, wearable biosensors, flexible bioelectronics, implantable sensors, smart textiles and smart contact lenses. A comprehensive picture of one's health can be detected via critical markers such as glucose, lactate, cortisol, and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from sweat, saliva, tears, breath and interstitial fluid (ISF)--based, non-invasive and minimally invasive biosensors using these advanced technologies. Personalized insights for enhancing their functionality are possible by integrating them of AI and big data analytics for early disease detection, and proactive health management. This paper explores the potential of futuristic biochemical wearables, their current status, underlying technologies, potential applications and challenges associated with them and their positioning as transformative solutions in personalized healthcare for redefining the future of healthcare monitoring.
