Abstract
Over the past few decades, sensors have been gaining a lot of popularity in the medical field. These sensors have helped shift the paradigm in medicine from having things done manually to digitalizing them. In the medical field, sensors have been manufactured in different forms and shapes including wearable and implantable wireless devices. With the aid of these sensors, healthcare professionals hope to revolutionize the system in a cost-effective way. In fact, this is already evident in most healthcare systems with the use of sensors for blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and arrhythmias on a daily basis. Also, more sophisticated sensors have made way into the medical field with a feedback loop, such as insulin pumps. On the other hand, similar technologies have been introduced in the orthopaedics world in the past decade. In this paper we summarize some of the sensors used in the medical field in general, and in orthopaedics in particular.
