Flexible and wearable nanosensors have been extremely helpful in minimizing bodily malfunctions by keeping track of a person’s physiological data. The work is categorized as system design, materials, network protocols, and various activities. The surface of a person's skin can be attached to flexible and wearable sensor devices made of skin-friendly, soft elastic materials so that a variety of crucial health data including blood glucose, body temperature, and wrist pulse can be monitored to maintain the patient’s physical health. In this chapter, we report on the most popular categories of flexible and wearable sensors, such as motion sensors, temperature sensors, biochemical sensors, and multipurpose sensors, fabricated by using different nanomaterials and nanocomposites. Selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, reaction conditions, and sensing ranges are also described.
