Wearable Sensors Market Analysis

A rapid surge in the use of connected devices and smartphones and the growing need for low-power, lighter, smaller sensors with developed performance are the factors establishing the trend of miniaturization. Advancements in micro-fabrication and nanotechnology technologies have been boosting the progress of the miniaturization process, thereby anchoring the emergence of smart fabrics and making smart sensors cost-effective. Future, Abbott Laboratories demonstrated the Libre 3 System, a glucose monitoring system, in January 2022. Thus, the increasing demand for wearable devices drives the global wearable sensors market.

Wearable Sensors Market Overview

Wearable sensors are sensors that are directly attached to human skin or clothes for gathering biological signals with the purpose of personal healthcare. Flexible thin films of MNPs are deposited on the appropriate substrates for temperature and pressure control as the health signals. With the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, all sorts of things are being connected to the Internet. As part of this trend, progress is being made in the creation of mechanisms for collecting data from wearable devices and using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze this data. Wearable devices such as eyewear, wristwatches, and wristbands are already available. Nevertheless, recent developments include items that can be worn every day, such as shirts, and highly sensitive, multifunctional, and lightweight flexible devices made using thin films and elastomers.
