Editorial: Current development on wearable biosensors towards biomedical applications
Sheng Zhang
Abstract
These devices are designed to monitor physiological parameters and collect real-time data in a non-invasive and continuous manner.The development of wearable biosensors has seen remarkable progress, driven by advancements in flexible materials, sensor technology, miniaturization, wireless communication, and data analytics.These biosensors can be integrated into various wearable forms such as smartwatches, patches, wristbands, fashion accessories and clothing, making them convenient and unobtrusive for longterm monitoring of vital signs, activity levels, and disease biomarkers.The utilization of wearable monitoring devices enable in-depth understanding of the dynamic biochemical processes within these biofluids by means of continuous, real-time monitoring of biomarkers associated with the wearer's health and performance.Such real-time monitoring not only provides information related to health and performance but also enhances the management of chronic diseases, as well as alerts users or medical professionals to unexpected or unforeseen situations.
