Abstract:
The traditional approach to accessing healthcare information restricts the further development of healthcare services,thus unable to meet the growing needs of individual healthcare.The flexible sensor technology has emerged along with the development of new materials,machinery and manufacturing technology.As a result,textiles,accessories,human skin and even internal body organs can be integrated with various sensors.The popularization of flexible sensors provides new methods for monitoring health,improving therapeutics,investigating disease status and building the human-machine in-terface.Through a systematic investigation of literature,this paper reviews the applications of flexible sensors in health-care,discusses the key technologies,and introduces the common materials and manufacturing technology.
