用于健康监测的可穿戴生物传感器系统的设计和开发在过去几年中引起了科学界和工业界的广泛关注。主要是由于医疗保健成本的增加以及微型生物传感设备、智能纺织品、微电子和无线通信方面的最新技术进步，基于传感器的可穿戴系统的不断发展将通过实现主动的个人健康管理和对患者健康状况的无处不在的监测来改变医疗保健的未来。这些系统可以包括各种类型的小型生理传感器，传输模块和处理能力，因此可以促进低成本的可穿戴式不显眼的解决方案，用于连续全天和任何地方的健康，心理和活动状态监测。本文综述了可穿戴式生物传感器健康监测系统的研究进展。各种系统的实现方式进行比较的方法，以确定当前国家的最先进的可穿戴生物传感器解决方案的技术缺陷。重点是多参数生理传感系统的设计，提供可靠的生命体征测量，并纳入实时决策支持的早期检测症状或上下文意识。为了评估可穿戴健康监测系统的最新成就的成熟度，选择了一组最能描述系统功能和特性的重要功能来进行深入研究。本调查的目的不是批评，而是为这一科学领域的研究人员和开发人员提供参考，并为未来的研究改进提供方向。
The design and development of wearable biosensor systems for health monitoring has garnered lots of attention in the scientific community and the industry during the last years. Mainly motivated by increasing healthcare costs and propelled by recent technological advances in miniature biosensing devices, smart textiles, microelectronics, and wireless communications, the continuous advance of wearable sensor-based systems will potentially transform the future of healthcare by enabling proactive personal health management and ubiquitous monitoring of a patient's health condition. These systems can comprise various types of small physiological sensors, transmission modules and processing capabilities, and can thus facilitate low-cost wearable unobtrusive solutions for continuous all-day and any-place health, mental and activity status monitoring. This paper attempts to comprehensively review the current research and development on wearable biosensor systems for health monitoring. A variety of system implementations are compared in an approach to identify the technological shortcomings of the current state-of-the-art in wearable biosensor solutions. An emphasis is given to multiparameter physiological sensing system designs, providing reliable vital signs measurements and incorporating real-time decision support for early detection of symptoms or context awareness. In order to evaluate the maturity level of the top current achievements in wearable health-monitoring systems, a set of significant features, that best describe the functionality and the characteristics of the systems, has been selected to derive a thorough study. The aim of this survey is not to criticize, but to serve as a reference for researchers and developers in this scientific area and to provide direction for future research improvements.
