Research progress of human health IoT based on wearable and implantable techniques by Junge LIANG, Yiran SONG, Yangfan SUN, Yingying JI, Lijia PAN, Yi SHI

“…Monitoring various physiological parameters in healthy people daily life can provide early warning of abnormalities and diseases, as well as reduce the pressure on national public health and medical resources.Hence, it is necessary to develop human health IoT system based on wearable and implantable sensors.The bioinformatics detection based on body fluids and electrical signals as the entry point was used to divide sensing technologies, and the key technologies such as self-powered and near-end communication for human health IoT were introduced for discussion.Finally, the technological progress and industrial application in the field of health data management and disease diagnosis and prevention were explored, and the concept of human health IoT based on wearable and implantable technologies was attempted to be constructed.…”
