Abstract
Wearable electronic systems are able to monitor and measure multiple biophysical, biochemical signals to help researchers develop further understandings of human health and correlation between human performance and diseases. Driven by increasing demand for need in sports training, health monitoring and disease diagnose, bio-integrated systems are developing at a significant speed based on recent advances in material science, structure design and chemical techniques. A wide range of wearable systems are created and feature unique measuring targets, methods and soft, transparent, stretchable characters. This review summarizes the recent advances in wearable electronic technologies that also include material science, chemical science and electronic engineering. The introduction to basic wearable fundamentals covers subsequent consideration for materials, system integration and promising platforms. Detailed classification towards their functions of physical, chemical detection is also mentioned. Strategies to achieve stretchability and promising material, AgNW, are fully discussed. This paper concludes with consideration of main challenging obstacles in this emerging filed and promises in materials that possess excellent potentials for predicted progress.
