Abstract
With the continuous growth of the global economy, an increasing concern has emerged among individuals with regard to personal digital health. Smart fiber-based sensors meet people’s demands for wearable devices with the advantages of excellent skin-friendliness and breathability, enabling efficient and prompt monitoring of personal digital health signals in daily life. Furthermore, by integrating machine learning and big data analysis techniques, a closed-loop system can be established for personal digital health, covering data collection, data analysis, as well as medical diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we provide a review of the recent research progress on fiber-based wearable sensors for personal digital health. Firstly, a brief introduction is provided to demonstrate the importance of fiber-based wearable sensors in personal digital health. Then, the monitoring of biophysical signals through fiber-based sensors is described, and they are classified based on different sensing principles in biophysical signal monitoring (resistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, triboelectric, magnetoelastic, and thermoelectric). After that, the fiber-based biochemical signal sensors are described through the classification of monitoring targets (biofluids and respiratory gases). Finally, a summary is presented on the application prospects and the prevailing challenges of fiber-based sensors, aiming to implement their future role in constructing personal digital health networks.
