摘要
Wearable devices have found numerous applications in healthcare ranging from physiological diseases,such as cardiovascular diseases,hypertension and muscle disorders to neurocognitive disorders,such as Parkinson’s disease,Alzheimer’s disease and other psychological diseases.Different types of wearables are used for this purpose,for example,skin-based wearables including tattoobased wearables,textile-based wearables,and biofluidic-based wearables.Recently,wearables have also shown encouraging improvements as a drug delivery system;therefore,enhancing its utility towards personalized healthcare.These wearables contain inherent challenges,which need to be addressed before their commercialization as a fully personalized healthcare system.This paper reviews different types of wearable devices currently being used in the healthcare field.It also highlights their efficacy in monitoring different diseases and applications of healthcare wearable devices(HWDs)for diagnostic and treatment purposes.Additionally,current challenges and limitations of these wearables in the field of healthcare along with their future perspectives are also reviewed.
