Abstract

In recent years, personalized diagnosis and treatment have gained significant recognition and rapid development in the biomedicine and healthcare. Due to the flexibility, portability and excellent compatibility, wearable ultrasound (WUS) devices have become emerging personalized medical devices with great potential for development. Currently, with the development of the ongoing advancements in materials and structural design of the ultrasound transducers, WUS devices have improved performance and are increasingly applied in the medical field. In this review, we provide an overview of the design and structure of WUS devices, focusing on their application for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases from a clinical application perspective, and then explore the issues that need to be addressed before clinical translation. Finally, we summarize the progress made in the development of WUS devices, and discuss the current challenges and the future direction of their development. In conclusion, WUS devices usher an emerging era for biomedicine with great clinical promise.
