This paper delves deeply into the innovative realm of integrating human emotions with wearable technology. The primary focus is on the conceptualization and development of a kiss transfer device that harnesses the power of wearable technology to bridge the physical gap in human-human interactions. By investigating the intricate nuances of the human-human kissing process, the research seeks to replicate this intimate gesture through a technological medium. The paper not only elaborates on the anatomy, evolution, and hormonal dynamics of kissing but also underscores the transformative potential of wearable technology in capturing and transmitting these intimate moments. This exploration opens up new horizons for long-distance relationships, offering a tangible touchpoint that goes beyond traditional communication methods. Through this pioneering work, the research positions wearable technology as not just a tool for communication but as an extension of our human emotions and expressions.

Abstract
The wearable body surface microfluidic system has great application potential in the field of sports. The use of the wearable body surface microfluidic system to monitor the physiological state of athletes can solve problems faced such as long inspection cycle in sports monitoring, difficulties in continuous monitoring, dependence on laboratory platforms, athlete resistance and other problems faced in technological integration to promote the development of the sports field. In recent years, the development of key technologies such as microfluidic chips and microneedle delivery provides an ideal solution for real-time monitoring and even immediate intervention of physiological states during exercise. This paper summarizes the latest research progress of wearable body surface microfluidic systems and focuses on eight wearable body surface microfluidic systems that may be applied in the field of sports, with their application prospects in sports analyzed and discussed. Finally, the application direction of the wearable body surface microfluidic system that may achieve breakthroughs is illustrated with the prospect demonstration of the future research and development direction of wearable sports equipment. This paper aims to focus on technical problems in the development of the sports field, provide multi-disciplinary solutions and advocate technology integration as well as provide scientific and technological assistance for the development of the sports field.
