Abstract

Over the past decades, the growing demands for disease management have spurred advancements in wearable electronics, enabling more comprehensive and precise monitoring of vital signs. The integration of these devices with artificial intelligence has not only enhanced detection efficiency and user interaction but also deepened research in this field. This article provides a comprehensive review of the up-to-date development of wearable electronics while attach importance to its relation with health care. The application of wearable electronics in monitoring both human’s and animal’s condition are also discussed. The findings reveal that wearable devices can not only bring revolutionary innovations to the medical and health field, but also promote the coordinated development of industries such as AI and wireless communication. It also demonstrates that while future challenges will exist, it is still promising for wearable electronics to change humanity’s life positively with the assistance of policies, technical breakthrough and market requirement. And the conclusion is that wearable electronics will develop further than health monitoring devices to be a comprehensive platform generating human health, animal and environmental protections.
