Wearable health monitoring systems have gained considerable interest in recent years owing to their tremendous promise for personal portable health watching and remote medical practices. The sensors with excellent flexibility and stretchability are crucial components that can provide health monitoring systems with the capability of continuously tracking physiological signals of human body without conspicuous uncomfortableness and invasiveness. The signals acquired by these sensors, such as body motion, heart rate, breath, skin temperature and metabolism parameter, are closely associated with personal health conditions. This review attempts to summarize the recent progress in flexible and stretchable sensors, concerning the detected health indicators, sensing mechanisms, functional materials, fabrication strategies, basic and desired features. The potential challenges and future perspectives of wearable health monitoring system are also briefly discussed.
可穿戴健康监测系统近年来引起了极大的关注，因为它们在个人便携式健康监测和远程医疗实践方面具有巨大的潜力。具有优异的柔韧性和拉伸性的传感器是至关重要的组成部分，它们可为健康监测系统提供持续跟踪人体生理信号的能力，而不会带来明显的不舒适和入侵感。这些传感器获取的信号，如身体运动、心率、呼吸、皮肤温度和代谢参数等，与个人健康状况密切相关。本综述试图总结可伸缩传感器的最新进展，涉及检测到的健康指标、传感机制、功能材料、制造策略、基本和理想特性。还简要讨论了可穿戴健康监测系统的潜在挑战和未来展望。
