Carbon?Based Nanomaterials and Sensing Tools for Wearable Health Monitoring Devices

The healthcare system has a drastic paradigm shift from centralized care to home-based and self-monitoring strategies; aiming reach more individuals, minimize workload in hospitals, reduce healthcare-associated expenses. Particularly, wearable technologies are garnering considerable interest by tracking physiological parameters through motion activities, monitoring biochemical markers sweat, saliva, tears. Through their integrations with sensors, microfluidics, wireless communication systems, they allow physicians, family members, or individuals monitor multiple without any significant disruptions daily routine. Integrating flexible smart materials platforms have already enabled facile operations. Especially, carbon nanomaterials hold unique features, including low density, high strength, good conductivity, outstanding flexibility, versatile integration sensors. In this manuscript, comprehensively reviewed tremendous assets utilized technologies. Further, ultrasonic, acoustic energy harvesting devices, optical electrochemical platforms, presented.
