    TLDR Electrospun nanofiber membranes are promising for non-invasive medical uses like tissue repair and health monitoring.
    The article reviews the advancements in electrospun nanofiber membranes for non-invasive medical applications, emphasizing their potential in health monitoring, personal protection, thermal regulation, and wound care. Electrospinning is highlighted for its efficiency and ability to produce nanofibers with high surface-area-to-volume ratios, enhancing drug delivery and efficacy. The document details various electrospinning techniques and explores the structural diversity of nanofibers, such as core-shell and porous fibers, which enhance their applicability in biomedical fields. Despite their promise, challenges like low productivity and environmental concerns remain. Future advancements should focus on material innovation, production process improvements, and interdisciplinary collaboration to overcome these hurdles and inspire further research and broader application in non-invasive medicine.
