Figure 1: Wearables devices for medical applications. a) Wearable devices (in vitro) have loose or conformal contact with the skin, or worn/inserted through body orifices. The most common interface is loose skin contact wearables, which measure electrophysiological signal via optics and electrodes. b) Information transfer from wearables. The data collected from wearable devices can be transmitted to the Internet or other devices via a body area network, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G, 4G, or 5G connection. The medical data can be sent to a healthcare provider to receive therapeutic feedback or acted upon automatically by other devices in the network.
