ABSTRACT

Sensors in medical devices have a lot of potential in terms of lowering patient expenditure and enhancing patient care. Wearable and nonwearable technologies are helping to revolutionize healthcare and health outcomes in the mobile health era, as well as offering real-time advice on better health management and tracking. Researchers and medical practitioners require safe and cost-effective methods for conducting research, maintaining public safety, and providing patients with personalized health alternatives. Medical sensors may be used to quickly implement one such approach. Biomedical diagnostic investigations are becoming increasingly important in the modern medical area. Infectious disease screening, chronic therapies, health management, and tracking are all applications for medical sensors. In this chapter we will look at different types of sensor used in healthcare sector.
