Abstract

Global difficulties, such as rising healthcare costs and staff shortages, have accelerated the transition to new wearable technologies in place of traditional healthcare services. With wearables, patients can be tracked regularly. In the study, wearable biomedical technologies were investigated according to their wearable structures as rigid, soft, and textile based. With the developing technology, it will be possible to get more comfortable, accurate, and better measurements by getting sensors from the textile surface. Resistive sensor, galvanic skin response, capacitive sensor, piezoelectric sensor, optical sensors, semiconductor sensors, and inertial measurement unit are the most used basic sensor types in health studies. In the study, information was given about the sensor types used in health applications. Biomedical applications are described only by classifying the upper-extremity region according to the sub-parts. When looking that are used on arm and hand are explained in the study. It is emphasized by researchers working in the textile field that to be presented as a final product, the wearable must meet natural clothing requirements. The trend toward commercialization is especially in adhesive wearables, integration of new sensor technologies, and miniaturization of wearables. Comfort and flexibility can be achieved using more textile techniques in future, which will greatly increase the usability and accuracy of the devices.
