With advances in tissue engineering and bioelectronics, flexible electronic hydrogels that allow conformal tissue integration, online precision diagnosis, and simultaneous tissue regeneration are expected to be the next-generation platform for the treatment of myocardial infarction. Here, we report a functionalized polyaniline-based chronological adhesive hydrogel patch (CAHP) that achieves spatiotemporally selective and conformal embedded integration with a moist and dynamic epicardium surface. Significantly, CAHP has high adhesion toughness, rapid self-healing ability, and enhanced electrochemical performance, facilitating sensitive sensing of cardiac mechanophysiology-mediated microdeformations and simultaneous improvement of myocardial fibrosis-induced electrophysiology. As a result, the flexible CAHP platform monitors diastolic-systolic amplitude and rhythm in the infarcted myocardium online while effectively inhibiting ventricular remodeling, promoting vascular regeneration, and improving electrophysiological function through electrocoupling therapy. Therefore, this diagnostic and therapeutic integration provides a promising monitorable treatment protocol for cardiac disease.
