Wearable sensors are Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMs) based sensors which can sense and process the surrounding environment. Wearable sensors are embedded in wearable devices to monitor bodily activities which include blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate. Wearable sensors are commonly used to monitor patients suffering from a variety of diseases. Demand for wearable sensors is expected to increase from several industries, such as sports, gaming, and consumer electronics. Demand for advanced tablets and smartphones is on the rise, which allows integration of smart applications such as wearable sensors to contribute greatly towards the worldwide demand for wearable sensors. Wearable sensors installed in a wide variety of wearable devices allow the devices to capture and sense motion, images, temperature, pressure, and other elements. Wearable sensors are fixed in devices that can be embedded into footwear, body-wear, eyewear, wrist-wear. This is a priceless asset for those who need to keep a check on their physical state or even for those who are simply health-conscious.
