Advanced materials for flexible wearable sensors of body area networks: physical limitations and prospects

Abstract

Personalized medicine and telemedicine involve the use of Body Area Networks (BANs) for real-time monitoring physiological parameters. The functionality of BANs is effective in case of using flexible wearable sensors. Designing of new advanced materials is the way to enhance the performance of these sensors. The aim of the study. To review advanced materials current state used in flexible wearable sensors, the physical limitations they encounter and future prospects to overcome these challenges.
