Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the technological developments that have led to
the clinical utility of smart wearable body sensors. Smart wearable sensors can enhance
the physician-patient relationship, promote remote monitoring techniques, and their
impact on healthcare management and expenditure. We explore how continuous health
status monitoring can be achieved with the help of wireless sensors, wireless
communication, microprocessors, and data processing algorithms. Furthermore, we
also discuss the impact of using wearable sensor systems by infants and aged persons
to alert parents/caretakers/clinicians. We also explore integrating smart wearable
sensors and IoT to enhance the automatic monitoring and alerting systems for health
care improvement.<br>
