The intersection of biomedicine and radio frequency (RF) engineering has fundamentally transformed self-health monitoring by leveraging soft and wearable electronic devices. This paradigm shift presents a critical challenge, requiring these devices and systems to possess exceptional flexibility, biocompatibility, and functionality. To meet these requirements, traditional electronic systems, such as sensors and antennas made from rigid and bulky materials, must be adapted through material science and schematic design. Notably, in recent years, extensive research efforts have focused on this field, and this review article will concentrate on recent advancements. We will explore the traditional/emerging materials for highly flexible and electrically efficient wearable electronics, followed by systematic designs for improved functionality and performance. Additionally, we will briefly overview several remarkable applications of wearable electronics in biomedical sensing. Finally, we provide an outlook on potential future directions in this developing area.
生物医学与射频（RF）工程的交叉融合，通过利用柔软且可穿戴的电子设备，从根本上改变了自我健康监测方式。这种范式转变带来了一项关键挑战，要求这些设备和系统具备卓越的灵活性、生物相容性和功能性。为满足这些要求，必须通过材料科学和原理图设计来改造传统电子系统，比如由刚性且笨重的材料制成的传感器和天线。值得注意的是，近年来，该领域已开展了广泛的研究工作，而这篇综述文章将聚焦于近期的进展。我们将探讨用于高灵活性和高效能可穿戴电子产品的传统/新兴材料，随后是为提升功能性和性能而进行的系统设计。此外，我们将简要概述可穿戴电子产品在生物医学传感方面的几个显著应用。最后，我们对这个发展中的领域潜在的未来方向进行了展望。
