Wearable sensors have recently seen a large increase in both research and commercialization. However, success in wearable sensors has been a mix of both progress and setbacks. Most of commercial progress has been in smart adaptation of existing mechanical, electrical and optical methods of measuring the body. This adaptation has involved innovations in how to miniaturize sensing technologies, how to make them conformal and flexible, and in the development of companion software that increases the value of the measured data. However, chemical sensing modalities have experienced greater challenges in commercial adoption, especially for non-invasive chemical sensors. There have also been significant challenges in making significant fundamental improvements to existing mechanical, electrical, and optical sensing modalities, especially in improving their specificity of detection. Many of these challenges can be understood by appreciating the body's surface (skin) as more of an information barrier than as an information source. With a deeper understanding of the fundamental challenges faced for wearable sensors and of the state-of-the-art for wearable sensor technology, the roadmap becomes clearer for creating the next generation of innovations and breakthroughs.

可穿戴传感器:模式、挑战和前景

可穿戴传感器最近的研究和商业化都大幅增加。然而,可穿戴传感器的成功既是进步,也是挫折。大多数商业进展都是对现有的机械、电气和光学身体测量方法的智能改造。这种适应涉及如何使传感技术小型化、如何使其保形和灵活以及开发可增加测量数据价值的配套软件方面的创新。然而,化学传感方式在商业应用中遇到了更大的挑战,特别是对于非侵入性化学传感器。对现有机械、电气和光学传感方式进行重大根本性改进,特别是提高其检测特异性方面,也面临着重大挑战。通过将身体表面(皮肤)更多地视为信息屏障而不是信息源,可以理解其中许多挑战。随着对可穿戴传感器所面临的基本挑战和可穿戴传感器技术的最新水平的更深入了解,创造下一代创新和突破的路线图变得更加清晰。
