Wearable
sensors and systems have evolved to the point that they can be
considered ready for clinical application. The use of wearable
monitoring devices that allow continuous or intermittent monitoring of
physiological signals is critical for the advancement of both the
diagnosis as well as treatment of diseases.
Wearable
systems are totally non-obtrusive devices that allow physicians to
overcome the limitations of ambulatory technology and provide a response
to the need for monitoring individuals over weeks or months. They
typically rely on wireless miniature sensors enclosed in patches or
bandages or in items that can be worn, such as ring or shirt. The data
sets recorded using these systems are then processed to detect events
predictive of possible worsening of the patient’s clinical situations or
they are explored to access the impact of clinical interventions.
