Abstract

With the growing development in the Internet of Things and smart devices, researchers attach great importance to wearable sensor to monitor biological and environmental parameters. These handy tools offer several opportunities to users, such as healthier lifestyles and a sense of safety. As the wearable sensing industry is advancing, the demand for more accurate and reliable sensing approaches has become necessary. Because of high conductivity, large surface area, biocompatibility, and excellent physical and chemical properties, carbon nanomaterials have considerable potential in wearable sensing technology. This chapter presents an overview of recent progress in carbon structures and, following that, an in-depth review of the recent progress in wearable sensors in clinical and industry. Finally, the current status of commercial sensing devices, possible limitations, and difficulties in the adaptation path of this technology in the industry are discussed.
