Abstract

Recent advancements in biomaterials have significantly impacted wearable health monitoring, creating opportunities for personalized and non-invasive health assessments. These developments address the growing demand for customized healthcare solutions. Durability is a critical factor for biomaterials in wearable applications, as they must withstand diverse wearing conditions effectively. Therefore, there is a heightened focus on developing biomaterials that maintain robust and stable functionalities, essential for advancing wearable sensing technologies. This review examines the biomaterials used in wearable sensors, specifically those interfaced with human skin and eyes, highlighting essential strategies for achieving long-lasting and stable performance. We specifically discuss three main categories of biomaterials—hydrogels, fibers, and hybrid materials—each offering distinct properties ideal for use in durable wearable health monitoring systems. Moreover, we delve into the latest advancements in biomaterial-based sensors, which hold the potential to facilitate early disease detection, preventative interventions, and tailored healthcare approaches. We also address ongoing challenges and suggest future directions for research on material-based wearable sensors to encourage continuous innovation in this dynamic field.

期刊介绍： Biomaterials is an international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is now defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. It is the aim of the journal to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review and opinion papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of biomaterials in clinical practice. The scope of the journal covers the wide range of physical, biological and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and the clinical disciplines in which they are used. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology and self assembly at the nanoscale. Clinical applications include the therapies of medical technology and regenerative medicine in all clinical disciplines, and diagnostic systems that reply on innovative contrast and sensing agents. The journal is relevant to areas such as cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.
