Abstract

Wearable sensors aid in diagnosing various diseases by using chemical, physical, and biological sensing technologies. They also make it possible to continuously and instantly monitor a patient's physiological state. Recently, the demand for sensors that track people's surroundings, fitness and health has increased. In the meantime, the production of flexible and wearable polymer sensors based on biocompatibility, biodegradability, environmentally friendly features and cost-effectiveness has created a significant evolution in the wearable sensor industry. In this review, the most recent researches conducted in the direction of the construction of wearable sensors in different fields including physical, optical, chemical, biochemical and the working mechanism of these sensors have been reviewed. Assisting researchers in selecting the most appropriate selective and sensitive sensor is a key objective of this review. In addition, the applications of these sensors were classified into different categories and discussed in fields such as health care and remote welfare. In general, improving personal health care and monitoring their performance using wearable electrochemical and biosensor technologies have a significant impact on people's daily lives.

期刊介绍： Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
