Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading causes of global morbidity and mortality, underscoring the urgent need for advanced, non-invasive monitoring technologies. This review explores the integration of hybrid magnetic and optical sensors in wearable devices aimed at transforming cardiovascular health monitoring. Magnetic sensors, known for their strong signal capture and resistance to ambient light interference, complement optical sensors like photoplethysmography (PPG), which provide vital hemodynamic data, including blood volume changes and pulse rates. Combining these technologies improves monitoring systems' overall signal integrity, accuracy, and reliability. We critically evaluate current integration strategies, highlighting advanced multi-sensor data fusion techniques that enhance temporal resolution and enrich physiological data interpretation. Additionally, this review addresses the challenges in developing hybrid sensor systems, such as calibration accuracy, real-time data analytics, power optimization, and user-friendly design. Looking forward, we propose research directions focused on refining sensor integration frameworks to enable early detection and personalized management of CVDs. The synergy between magnetic and optical sensors significantly advances next-generation wearable diagnostics, greatly improving patient care and health outcomes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the transformative potential of hybrid sensor technology in cardiovascular monitoring.
期刊介绍:
In 1985, the Journal of Science was founded as a platform for publishing national and international research papers across various disciplines, including natural sciences, technology, social sciences, and humanities. Over the years, the journal has experienced remarkable growth in terms of quality, size, and scope. Today, it encompasses a diverse range of publications dedicated to academic research.
Considering the rapid expansion of materials science, we are pleased to introduce the Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices. This new addition to our journal series offers researchers an exciting opportunity to publish their work on all aspects of materials science and technology within the esteemed Journal of Science.
With this development, we aim to revolutionize the way research in materials science is expressed and organized, further strengthening our commitment to promoting outstanding research across various scientific and technological fields.
