Incorporating nano-and microelectromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS)-based sensors in clothing and developing more compact and flexible devices have gained popularity recently. NEMS/MEMS-based bolometers/sensors have gained significance due to their high sensitivity and accuracy in measuring physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiations. When worn on the body, bolometers can be employed in various applications such as environmental monitoring or health tracking. This review highlights the progress of smart wearable bolometers as NEMS/ MEMS-based sensors in the healthcare industry. Instead of visiting multiple healthcare facilities or devices, now people can assess their health status by measuring body temperature, sensing motion, respiratory functioning, blood pressure, oxygen levels of the blood, and heart functioning by integrating these devices into fabriclike garments, socks, shoe insoles, wrist watches, and other pieces of clothing. The article concludes by describing their varied challenges and possible solutions and prospects.

Wearable technology represents a new technological paradigm for promoting physical activity, enabling monitoring of performances and athletic gestures. In addition, they can be employed for remote health monitoring applications, allowing continuous acquisition of users’ vital signs directly at home, emergency alerting, and computer-assisted rehabilitation. Commonly, these devices depend on batteries which are not the better option since researchers aim for dispositive who need minimal human intervention. Energy harvesting devices can be useful to extract energy from the human body, especially by integrating them into the garments, giving health monitoring devices enough energy for their independent operation. This review work focuses on the main new wearable technologies and devices to scavenge energy from the human body. First, the most suitable energy sources exploitable for wearable applications are investigated. Afterward, an overview of the main harvesting technologies (piezoelectric, triboelectric, thermoelectric, solar fabrics, and hybrid solution) is presented. In detail, we focused on flexible and thin textiles with energy harvesting capability, allowing easy integration into clothes fabric. Furthermore, comparative analyses of each harvesting technology are proposed, providing useful insights related to the best technologies for developing future self-sustainable wearable devices. Finally, a comparison between our review work and similar ones is introduced, highlighting its strengths in completeness and specificity.
