This document discusses wearable biosensors, which are wearable monitoring devices that allow for continuous physiological signal monitoring. Wearable biosensors have two main components - a biological recognition element and a physiochemical transducer. They are useful for remote patient monitoring, athlete training support, and monitoring those in hazardous work. Examples discussed are a ring sensor that monitors heart rate and oxygen levels, and a smart shirt with sensors. Future trends may include more use of nanotechnology, continuous medication monitoring, and increased home healthcare using wearable biosensors.

 WEARABLE BIOSENSORS = WEARABLE + BIOSENSOR
 WEARABLES :- BIOSENSORS :-
 Objects that can be worn - Detect analyte
on body -Biological
component
Ex: wrist watch, rings, -Physiochemical
component
clothes, spectacles, etc…

4. COMPONENTS OF A BIOSENSOR
 Sensitive Biological Element
 Transducer
 Associated Electronics

5. How does a biosensor works?
 Use of wearable monitoring devices allows
continuous monitoring of physiological signal
 Wearable systems are totally non-obstructive
devices that allow physicians to overcome the
limitation of ambulatory technology
 Detect event predictive of possible worsening of
the patient’s clinical situations

6. Need for a wearable biosensor
 Remote monitoring of patients
 Training support for athletes
 Monitoring of individuals who work with
hazardous elements
 Tracking of professional truck driver’s vital
signs to alert then of fatique

7. What is a Wearable Biosensor?
 Wearable monitoring device that allows continuous
monitoring of physiological signals.
 They rely on wireless sensors enclosed in items that can
be worn, such as ring or shirt.
 The data sets recorded using these systems are then
processed to detect patient’s clinical situations.
 Biosensor is an analytical device, which convert a
biological response into electrical signal.
