In recent years, health monitoring systems (HMS) have aroused great interest due to their broad prospects in preventive medicine. As an important component of HMS, flexible force sensors (FFS) with high flexibility and stretch-ability can monitor vital health parameters and detect physical movements.
In this review, the novel materials, the advanced additive manufacturing technologies, the selective sensing mechanisms and typical applications in both wearable and implantable HMS are discussed.
We recognized that the next generation of the FFS will have higher sensitivity, wider linear range as well as better durability, self-power supplied and multifunctional integrated. In conclusion, the FFS will provide powerful socioeconomic benefits and improve people's quality of life in the future.
近年来,健康监测系统(HMS)因其在预防医学领域的广阔前景而备受关注。作为HMS的重要组成部分,具有高柔韧性和拉伸性的柔性力传感器(FFS)能够监测重要的健康参数并检测身体运动。
本文综述了新型材料、先进的增材制造技术、选择性传感机制以及在可穿戴和植入式HMS中的典型应用。
我们认识到,下一代FFS将具有更高的灵敏度、更宽的线性范围以及更好的耐久性、自供电能力和多功能集成性。总之,FFS未来将带来巨大的社会经济效益并改善人们的生活质量。
