Wearable sensing technologies are having a worldwide impact on the creation of novel business opportunities and application services that are benefiting the common citizen. By using these technologies, people have transformed the way they live, interact with each other and their surroundings, their daily routines, and how they monitor their health conditions. We review recent advances in the area of wearable sensing technologies, focusing on aspects such as sensor technologies, communication infrastructures, service infrastructures, security, and privacy. We also review the use of consumer wearables during the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and we discuss open challenges that must be addressed to further improve the efficacy of wearable sensing systems in the future.
可穿戴传感技术正在对创新商业机会和应用服务的创造产生全球性影响，使普通民众受益。通过使用这些技术，人们改变了他们的生活方式、彼此互动和与周围环境互动的方式、他们的日常生活以及监测健康状况的方式。我们回顾了可穿戴传感技术领域的最新进展，重点关注传感器技术、通信基础设施、服务基础设施、安全性和隐私等方面。我们还回顾了在由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）引起的 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间消费者可穿戴设备的使用情况，并讨论了必须解决的开放挑战，以进一步提高可穿戴传感系统在未来的功效。
