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.
