Advancements in optical fiber-based wearable sensors for smart health monitoring

Beyond Color Boundaries: Pioneering Developments in Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Photonic Actuators

“…( a ) Structural color response of smart CLC fibers to strain, temperature, and electrical signals [ 205 , 206 , 207 ]. ( b ) Wearable CLC fabrics and devices: clothing, bandages, belts, and gloves can detect sweat, temperature, and pressure [ 208 ].…”

AI-Assisted Insole Sensing System for Multifunctional Plantar-Healthcare Applications

“…However, the requirement of a commercial optical source and receiver renders it conducive to laboratory research as opposed to daily usage. 32 As such, the pursuit of widely available portable optical sources and receivers has become a demand.…”

“…These optical fiber sensors exhibit a high sensitivity, enough to detect minuscule variations caused by heartbeat or swallowing on the surface of the skin. However, the requirement of a commercial optical source and receiver renders it conducive to laboratory research as opposed to daily usage . As such, the pursuit of widely available portable optical sources and receivers has become a demand.…”
