Wearable Sensors for Health Care

  • Unique Paper ID: 204473
  • PageNo: 172-178
  • Abstract:
  • Wearable sensors are the core technologies that allow devices like smartwatches, fitness bands, and smart rings to continuously monitor the human body. These sensors detect physical, electrical, optical, chemical, and environmental signals and convert them into measurable health data. Common types include motion sensors, optical sensors for heart rate and oxygen levels, electrical sensors such as ECG, electrodermal stress sensors, and emerging biochemical sensors that analyze sweat and metabolites. Together, they power applications ranging from fitness tracking and sports performance analysis to remote patient monitoring and clinical research. As research advances, innovations like smart textiles, energy-harvesting sensors, and AI-driven analytics are expanding the role of wearable sensors in modern healthcare and personalized health monitoring.
