Advances in Wearable Sensing Technologies and Intelligent Systems for Healthcare and Fitness

Abstract

Wearable sensing technologies and intelligent systems have gained significant attention due to their potential to revolutionize healthcare and fitness monitoring. These technologies enable the real-time continuous detection of various physiological and physical parameters, aiding in rehabilitation, fitness optimization, and personalized medicine. Recent advances show the integration of artificial intelligence with wearable sensors and electronics, offering clinical-grade home healthcare, accurate performance monitoring, and feedback-based health management. This review summarizes the latest progress in the development of sensor technologies, device form factors, sensing modalities, data analysis algorithms, integrated electronics, and their applications for human health and fitness.
