The physiologic response of the human body to different environments is a complex phenomenon to ensure survival. Immersion and compressed gas diving, together, trigger a set of responses. Monitoring those responses in real time may increase our understanding of them and help us to develop safety procedures and equipment. This review outlines diving physiology and diseases and identifies physiological parameters worthy of monitoring. Subsequently, we have investigated technological approaches matched to those in order to evaluated their capability for underwater application. We focused on wearable biomedical monitoring technologies, or those which could be transformed to wearables. We have also reviewed current safety devices, including dive computers and their underlying decompression models and algorithms. The review outlines the necessity for biomedical monitoring in scuba diving and should encourage research and development of new methods to increase diving safety.
人体对不同环境的生理反应是确保生存的复杂现象。浸水和压缩气体潜水共同引发了一系列反应。实时监测这些反应可以增进我们对它们的理解，并帮助我们制定安全程序和设备。本综述概述了潜水生理学和疾病，并确定了值得监测的生理参数。随后，我们调查了与之匹配的技术方法，以评估它们在水下应用的能力。我们专注于可穿戴式生物医学监测技术，或可转化为可穿戴式设备的技术。我们还回顾了当前的安全设备，包括潜水电脑及其基础的减压模型和算法。该综述概述了水肺潜水生物医学监测的必要性，应该鼓励研究和开发新方法以提高潜水安全性。
