The relevance of wearable sensing systems has increased in recent years, particularly in medicine and sport. In these fields, the main benefit of non-invasive and comfortable wearable devices is the real time evaluation of a patient's physiological conditions. Body monitoring is generally based on the measurement of heart rate, heart rate variability, body motion, breath, skin temperature and metabolic parameters (electrolytes, lactic acid, pH, etc). The basic requirements of wearable systems are lightness, flexibility, reliability and low power consumption. In addition, wearable sensors must provide acceptable levels of accuracy, repeatability and noise. Different solutions have been proposed to develop sensors specifically for wearable systems. The evolution of materials, the reduction of power consumption and the development of fiber treatments have supported the prototyping of integrated wearable sensing systems. The goal of this review is to provide a general description of the technologies relating to wearable sensors that have been adopted in medicine and sport, and to review device typologies, sensing strategies and future perspectives.

Human hand motion analysis is attracting researchers in the areas of neuroscience, biomedical engineering, robotics, human-machines interfaces (HMI), humancomputer interaction (HCI), and artificial intelligence (AI). Among the others, the fields of medical rehabilitation and physiological assessments are suggesting high impact applications for wearable sensing systems. Glove-based systems are one of the most significant devices in assessing quantities related to hand movements. This paper provides updated survey among the main glove solutions proposed in literature for hand rehabilitation. Then, the process for designing glove-based systems is defined, by including all relevant design issues for researchers and makers. The main goal of the paper is to describe the basics of glove-based systems and to outline their potentialities and limitations. At the same time, roadmap to design and prototype the next generation of these devices is defined, according to the results of previous experiences in the scientific community.
