Abstract

Wearable flexible sensors, as a product with huge potential, have attracted wide attention. In the commercial sector, various smart wearable devices products such as iWatch eagerly welcome the addition of new features, presenting great business prospects. In the medical field, new detection methods are needed for detailed monitoring of patients around the clock. This article roughly introduces the research results on the materials required for wearable flexible sensors, focusing on carbon-based materials and also mentioning sensors made from other materials. Overall, current research on this type of sensor still faces practical application challenges, particularly in the inability of materials to meet multiple key indicators required for practical use. The challenge lies in balancing. This makes the development of this sensor promising but still in the early stages of research and development. The ongoing research and development are poised to bridge this gap, heralding a new era of seamless and smart health monitoring solutions.
