Abstract
With the multidisciplinary development of biomedicine, materials science, control science, and communication technology, the wearable devices market is developing rapidly. Flexible sensors are a core component of wearable devices. From monitoring to preventing diseases and being used in clinical trials to improve medical outcomes, the applications of sensors in the medical field are rapidly expanding. This paper will discuss some of the new medical applications of flexible sensor devices and summarise the progress in advanced medical research and development potential of the devices. Firstly, the paper discusses an overview of background information on wearable devices and sensors. This is followed by an overview of the materials used to manufacture flexible sensors. These are polymers, carbon-based materials, and hydrogels. Then, it compared the unique advantages of flexible sensors in terms of two modes which include in-vivo sensing and in-vitro sensing. Finally, the paper presents the current opportunities and possible future challenges for the sensor market.
