Along with the gradual entry of the world into the digital era, digital technologies have flourished and have been silently integrated into the innovation processes of technology research and development, transformation, application, and diffusion. In the countries' efforts to establish and strengthen national innovation systems (NIS), the development of digital technologies has received increasing attention. It has become a key driving force for the optimal growth and effective operation of national innovation systems. This study quantitatively assesses the overall effectiveness of China's national innovation system (NIS) using data from 30 provinces in China from 2012 to 2022, employing the Vertical and Horizontal Scatter Degree Method (VHSD), Entropy Method (EM), and coupled coordination models, and examines the external impact, internal mechanism and spatial heterogeneity of the development of digital technologies on the overall effectiveness of national innovation systems in the light of the characteristics of the digital era. The study results show spatial aggregation in the overall effectiveness of national innovation systems, with regions with high overall effectiveness clustering and areas with low overall effectiveness clustering. Second, the development of digital technology improves the overall effectiveness of national innovation systems, which is confirmed by endogeneity treatment and various robustness tests. Third, digital technology improves the overall effectiveness of national innovation systems by promoting the development of a service-oriented industrial structure and active labor market. Fourth, the impact of digital technologies on the overall effectiveness of national innovation systems is spatially heterogeneous. It is less pronounced in the Northeast and East but very significant in the Central and West, and the main reasons for this counterfactual result can perhaps be explained in terms of both diminishing marginal effects and policy tilting effects. Finally, this study not only gives corresponding policy recommendations but also further discusses the dilemmas and challenges that may be encountered in implementing these policies.

“…As technology advances, smart wearable devices that enable the interaction between the user and the digital or physical environment have experienced a booming growth and shown great potential in the fields of virtual reality, − health monitoring, − and motion tracking. − Generally, smart wearable devices contain sensors, , actuators, , wireless communication technologies, artificial intelligence, and so on, in which soft sensors and actuators are the most basic components. Compared with traditional rigid materials, flexible materials are considered as ideal candidates for soft sensors and actuators due to their remarkable advantages such as flexibility, lightweight, and ductility .…”
Smart wearable devices have demonstrated promising applications in virtual reality, health monitoring, motion tracking, and beyond. Recently, MXene with fascinating physical/ chemical properties has been considered an ideal candidate to make the core components of smart wearable devices such as soft actuators and sensors. However, most current MXene-based devices present only actuating or sensing features, which may prohibit the integrated development of smart wearable devices. Here, a multifunctional MXene/tape bilayer film that integrates multiresponsive actuating and sensing functions is reported. Owing to the distinct hygroexpansion effect and thermal expansivity of two layers, the MXene/tape bilayer film can be manipulated under moisture, light, and electricity. Meanwhile, this MXene/tape bilayer film can be used as a strain sensor by introducing microcracks into the MXene layer. As a proof of concept, smart devices, including a wearable interactive manipulator system and a wearable interactive gripper system, are fabricated, revealing great potential for developing flexible robotics and smart wearable devices.
“…Wearable, portable, or implantable devices can be adopted to measure the parameters of interest; however, owing to their unobtrusive and comfortable nature, wearable devices are the most popular contribution to the definition of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) [ 26 , 27 ]. Some of the most common wearable devices used in heart monitoring applications include sensors that can obtain electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmograph (PPG) signals [ 10 , 28 , 29 , 30 ] like those illustrated in Figure 1 .…”
Smart wearable devices enable personalized at-home healthcare by unobtrusively collecting patient health data and facilitating the development of intelligent platforms to support patient care and management. The accurate analysis of data obtained from wearable devices is crucial for interpreting and contextualizing health data and facilitating the reliable diagnosis and management of critical and chronic diseases. The combination of edge computing and artificial intelligence has provided real-time, time-critical, and privacy-preserving data analysis solutions. However, based on the envisioned service, evaluating the additive value of edge intelligence to the overall architecture is essential before implementation. This article aims to comprehensively analyze the current state of the art on smart health infrastructures implementing wearable and AI technologies at the far edge to support patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). In particular, we highlight the contribution of edge intelligence in supporting the integration of wearable devices into IoT-aware technology infrastructures that provide services for patient diagnosis and management. We also offer an in-depth analysis of open challenges and provide potential solutions to facilitate the integration of wearable devices with edge AI solutions to provide innovative technological infrastructures and interactive services for patients and doctors.
