Abstract:
The growth of smart wearable sensing systems has gained immense importance in the present mode of data acquisition and signaling in pharmaceutical, healthcare, and wellness industries. Presently, application of smart wearables is gaining prominence in several fitness activities, therapeutics, and diagnostic areas. Smart wearable biosensors offer real-time monitoring of physiological metrics and biomarkers that are specific to certain diseases in ambulant condition. This review offers a broad overview of the state-of-the-art progress on smart wearable biosensors focusing on applications in point of care diagnostics. A careful comparison of presently available commercial devices, implementation in clinical trials, and validation also have been highlighted in the present review. This work concludes with challenges and future prospects for scientists and engineers working in the nascent interdisciplinary field.

This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
