Wearable Physical, Chemical and Biological Sensors: Fundamentals, Materials and Applications

Wearable Physical, Chemical and Biological Sensors: Fundamentals, Materials and Applications introduces readers of all backgrounds - chemistry, mechanics, electronics, photonics, biology, microfluidics, materials, and more - to the fundamental principles needed to develop wearable sensors for a host of different applications. The capability to continuously monitor organ-related biomarkers, environmental exposure, movement disorders, and other health conditions using miniaturized devices that operate in real time provides numerous benefits, such as avoiding or delaying the onset of disease, saving resources allocated to public health, and making better decisions related to medical diagnostics or treatment. Worn as glasses, masks, wristwatches, fitness-like bands, tattoo-like devices, or bandage-like patches, wearable devices are also being boosted by the Internet of Things in combination with mobile devices such as smartphones. Written by experts in their respective fields, Wearable Physical, Chemical and Biological Sensors: Fundamentals, Materials and Applications provides insights on how to design, fabricate, and operate these sensors. Provides a holistic view of the field, covering physical, chemical, and biosensing approaches along with the advantages of their various functionalitiesCovers all necessary elements for developing wearable sensors, including materials, biorecognition elements, transductions systems, signal amplification strategies, and system design considerationsEach chapter includes examples, summaries, and references for further reading INDICE: 1.
