Wearable sensors can fit human skin or integrate with textiles to monitor the physiological environment of human body with high sensitivity and integration. In recent years, wearable sensors have been widely used in monitoring sweat, breathing, heart rate and blood oxygen and other physiological parameters. However, wearable sensors should be attached to skin with well comfortability. Also, they should be avoided bringing negative results when people participate activities. Consequently, flexibility is an important parameter for evaluating and improving the performances of wearable sensors. In this review, the development of different flexible materials was summarized. Besides, the construction and application of wearable sensors based on different flexible materials were also discussed. Additionally, the current challenges, coping strategies and development direction of these flexible wearable sensors were discussed.
- Wearable sensors,
- Flexible materials,
- Ions,
- Metabolic molecules,
- Hemodynamic parameter
