“…52 While measuring personal environmental exposure accuracy is crucial, understanding its impact on human health should go further than the data collection and mitigate the effects of exposures like pollution. 53 There appears to be a gap in the literature as data collection is often the end goal without any corresponding action. To progress the proliferation and scalability of wearables and to successfully improve health, it appears necessary to encourage the joint monitoring and assessment of physiological, psychological and environmental exposure to ensure comprehensive and accurate comprehension of health.…”

The rapid growth of urbanisation has brought about various health concerns for citizens living in urban environments. Sedentary lifestyles, increased pollution levels, and high levels of stress have become prevalent issues affecting the overall well-being of urban populations. In recent years, the emergence of smart wearable devices has offered a promising avenue to address these health concerns and promote healthier lifestyles. This review evaluatse the effectiveness of smart wearables in mitigating health concerns and improving the lifestyles of urban citizens. The review involves 50 relevant peer-reviewed smart wearable studies and supporting literature from electronic databases PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, and Scopus. Results indicate that smart wearables have the potential to positively impact the health of urban citizens by promoting physical activity, tracking vital signs, monitoring sleep patterns, and providing personalised feedback and recommendations to promote physical activity levels. Furthermore, these devices can help individuals manage stress levels, enhance self-awareness, and foster healthier behaviours. However, the review also identifies several challenges, including the accuracy and reliability of wearable data, user engagement and adherence, and ethical considerations regarding data privacy and security.

“…While this is very appealing, the ability to create such a multiple sensor system is extremely challenging, since it requires constant communication and integration of information across modalities. Zhang et al , 273 who studied wearable sensors, identified several key obstacles to integrating multiple sensors: choosing the right sensor for each purpose, determining how many sensors are needed and their specific functionalities, and the intelligent and effective combination and processing of different data. This requires critical decision-making in terms of costs, recruitment, implementation, and data validity.…”

Implantable sensors have revolutionized the way we monitor biophysical and biochemical parameters by enabling real-time closed-loop intervention or therapy. These technologies align with the new era of healthcare known as healthcare 5.0, which encompasses smart disease control and detection, virtual care, intelligent health management, smart monitoring, and decision-making. This review explores the diverse biomedical applications of implantable temperature, mechanical, electrophysiological, optical, and electrochemical sensors. We delve into the engineering principles that serve as the foundation for their development. We also address the challenges faced by researchers and designers in bridging the gap between implantable sensor research and their clinical adoption by emphasizing the importance of careful consideration of clinical requirements and engineering challenges. We highlight the need for future research to explore issues such as long-term performance, biocompatibility, and power sources, as well as the potential for implantable sensors to transform healthcare across multiple disciplines. It is evident that implantable sensors have immense potential in the field of medical technology. However, the gap between research and clinical adoption remains wide, and there are still major obstacles to overcome before they can become a widely adopted part of medical practice.

“…Improving pedestrian comfort and safety involves an understanding of the complexity of the walking experience. In outdoor environments, stress may be due to a variety of environmental factors, such as crowdedness, lighting, visibility, proximity to motor vehicles, and facility design, among others [1] [2]. Measuring the stress that pedestrians experience during their travels can serve as valuable information towards improving the mobility experience and, in particular, mitigating pedestrian safety given the alarming number of pedestrian casualties caused by conflicts with motor vehicles.…”

Walkability is an essential aspect of urban transportation systems. Properly designed walking paths can enhance transportation safety, encourage pedestrian activity, and improve community quality of life. This, in turn, can help achieve sustainable development goals in urban areas. This pilot study uses wearable technology data to present a new method for measuring pedestrian stress in urban environments and the results were presented as an interactive geographic information system map to support risk-informed decision-making. The approach involves analyzing data from wearable devices using heart rate variability (RMSSD and slope analysis) to identify high-stress locations. This data-driven approach can help urban planners and safety experts identify and address pedestrian stressors, ultimately creating safer, more walkable cities. The study addresses a significant challenge in pedestrian safety by providing insights into factors and locations that trigger stress in pedestrians. During the pilot study, high-stress pedestrian experiences were identified due to issues like pedestrian-scooter interaction on pedestrian paths, pedestrian behavior around high foot traffic areas, and poor visibility at pedestrian crossings due to inadequate lighting.
