Guest Editorial Special Issue on Self-Powered Sensors and Wearable Electronic Systems

Abstract

Wearable sensing has recently been highly preferred due to its quick and accurate measurement of physiological parameters. These sensors have been devised using various polymers [1] , [2] and nanomaterials [3] , [4] suited for the chosen application. With the exponential growth of wearable electronics [5] , [6] , [7] , there is a need to broaden their capabilities in terms of functionality and availability. Commercializing these wearable electronics needs further encouragement to use these sensors as point-of-care devices. Self-powered sensors [8] , [9] are one of the growing aspects in the sector of wearable sensing. With the growing requirement for energy usage, self-powered sensing systems need to be developed to generate and harvest energy ubiquitously [10] , [11] . This Special Issue highlights some of the published papers that work on using smart textiles and self-powered devices for efficient and sustainable sensing applications.
