Abstract

Recent advancements in biomaterials have significantly impacted wearable health monitoring, creating opportunities for personalized and non-invasive health assessments. These developments address the growing demand for customized healthcare solutions. Durability is a critical factor for biomaterials in wearable applications, as they must withstand diverse wearing conditions effectively. Therefore, there is a heightened focus on developing biomaterials that maintain robust and stable functionalities, essential for advancing wearable sensing technologies. This review examines the biomaterials used in wearable sensors, specifically those interfaced with human skin and eyes, highlighting essential strategies for achieving long-lasting and stable performance. We specifically discuss three main categories of biomaterials—hydrogels, fibers, and hybrid materials—each offering distinct properties ideal for use in durable wearable health monitoring systems. Moreover, we delve into the latest advancements in biomaterial-based sensors, which hold the potential to facilitate early disease detection, preventative interventions, and tailored healthcare approaches. We also address ongoing challenges and suggest future directions for research on material-based wearable sensors to encourage continuous innovation in this dynamic field.
