(ICIOT 2025) Intelligent Analytics from Wearable Flexible Sensors for Next-Generation Health Diagnostics

Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technology drive demand for affordable, compact, lightweight, and flexible wearable devices. Flexible devices integrate functional materials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanowires, carbon nanotubes, conduc-tive polymers) with flexible substrates (e.g., fiber fabrics, polymers), combin-ing substrate flexibility with material properties like conductivity, photother-mal response, and strength. Encompassing electronic (e.g., flexible displays, circuits) and non-electronic types (e.g., paper-based chips, actuators), they find applications in energy storage, biomimetics, biomedicine, and beyond. This review covers the constituent materials, functional material patterning meth-ods, and biomedical applications of flexible devices, focusing on sens-ing/monitoring, disease treatment/healthcare, and artificial organs.
