A REVIEW ON APPLICATION OF WEARABLE FLEXIBLE SENSORS

Abstract

The appearance of sensors in the software world has revolutionized the quality of human life. They provide the statistics appropriately and efficiently concerning the conduct and movements of someone. The paper discusses some of the relevant research work carried out on wearable flexible sensors (WFS). Wearable sensors have revolutionized the way the activities of a person are being monitored. Including the embedded device, sensors produced with flexible materials were connected to an individual to track a parameter and pass substantial data for further study to the tracking unit. The use of wearable sensors has played a very important role in tracking a person's physiological parameters to mitigate any malfunctioning of the body. The paper classifies the work according to the resources used to construct the device, the protocols of the network and the various types of operations that were being tracked. The application of the wearable flexible sensors regarding advantages are also briefly explained in the paper.
