Implementations disclosed herein provide for a microneedle electrode system comprising a microneedle electrode patch connected to external electronics. The microneedle electrode patch comprises a first flexible substrate having a plurality of conductive pads disposed thereon, a plurality of three-dimensional, individually addressable microneedle electrode arrays where each array has a plurality of microneedles extending from an upper surface thereof and a lower surface adapted to contact a corresponding one of the plurality of conductive pads disposed on the first substrate, and a second flexible substrate having a plurality of openings defined therein dimensioned to accommodate at least a portion of the upper surface of the microneedle electrode array from which the microneedles extend. Each of the conductive pads is disposed in electrical communication with a corresponding one of the plurality of microneedle electrode arrays and the first and second substrate are bonded together such that each one of the plurality of microneedle electrode arrays extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of openings defined in the second substrate.
