Recent Advances in Wearable Sensors for Health Monitoring

Abstract

Wearable sensor technology continues to advance and provide significant opportunities for improving personalized healthcare. In recent years, advances in flexible electronics, smart materials, and low-power computing and networking have reduced barriers to technology accessibility, integration, and cost, unleashing the potential for ubiquitous monitoring. This paper discusses recent advances in wearable sensors and systems that monitor movement, physiology, and environment, with a focus on applications for Parkinson's disease, stroke, and head and neck injuries.
