“…The body electric (the sensors that can detect body information are linked/integrated with the human body) for changing medical mode is one of the most important subjects that many researchers are focusing on [1,2]. Nowadays, various new flexible sensors (skin-implanted, organic-patched or skin-surface devices) have been realized for establishing connection with the human body, such as sensing blood pressure, arterial stiffening, heart rate, electrolyte balance, body temperature, breathing rate and etc.…”

“…Thanks to data delivered by wearables, healthcare providers can diagnose health disorders at an early stage, monitor patients and interfere in a timely manner when problems occur. There is already a wide range of wearable devices in the market that track and predict epilepsy seizures or that monitor the glucose level of diabetes patients and support drug delivery (Austen, 2015).…”
