ABSTRACT
Wearable biomedical sensors are one of the most dominant devices in the medical field. Biosensors should demonstrate compatibility, sensitivity, and durability. There are different kinds of sensors in wearable devices. There is most potential for applications of wearable biosensors in modified electronic skins, healthcare monitoring, artificial intelligence, and human–machine interfaces. For example, pressure sensors perceive and respond to environmental stimuli in very sensitive conditions. They can be indispensable for wearable electronics. Wearable sensors are flexible electronic devices which can predict and show the acuity and response of human skin. Wearable sensors made with organic polymer materials provide flexibility and sensitive to tiny environmental changes. Also, they exhibit high stretchability, high comfortability, and long-term wear. Specific materials have been studied to address challenges like long-term durability and high sensitivity. This chapter elaborates on the materials used to produce highly sensitive and durable wearable biomedical sensors.
