The past two years was a real challenge for all the human race over the globe, especially for hospital care team members who worked continuously through this crisis. The corona virus pandemic, once again reminded us that how much technology can be a great help to health professionals and serve the humanity in much efficient and better ways. The presented work is conducted in the hope of helping researchers around the world in this path.Over the past decades, with more developments in wireless body area network (WBAN) technology, a great deal of concern is drawn to wearable devices more than ever. Nowadays, wearable communication systems are being used in an extensive range of applications from entertainment to medical (Hall & Hao, 2006;Negra et al., 2016). However, in recent years, interests are centered toward biomedical telemetry applications (Smida et al., 2020). One of the important keys in WBANs is designing the antenna, since it is a communication bridge and responsible for transmission of data and signals. However, designing an efficient wearable antenna requires many considerations. Wearable antennas are supposed to operate in the vicinity of the human body which in higher frequency bands, acts as a lossy media for electromagnetic (EM) waves (Basir et al., 2018). Moreover, trend toward miniaturizing in WBAN technology, demands low-profile, and compact antennas. Thus, wearable antenna should be as small as possible and simultaneously give an efficient performance (Michel et al., 2018). Since the antenna should be comfortable for users, therefore choosing the material is another important consideration on designing wearable antennas. In Paracha et al. ( 2019), a review on different materials has been carried out. Furthermore, wearable antennas must have a simple design so that the fabrication would be easy and in turn, it reduces the overall cost of the design. In addition, user safety factor which is defined as the specific absorption rate (SAR) level is the most important issue, since there is a possibility for body to absorb EM waves that led to serious harms. Thus, the unwanted backward radiation toward human body should be reduced. Numerous studies are carried out on designing wearable antennas; however, some contains complexity (Arif et al., 2019;, or have a large and bulk design like in Hu et al. (2020), or cannot placed in a close vicinity of the human body due to their omnidirectional pattern as in Ashyap, Zainal Abidin, Dahlan, Majid, Waddah, et al. (2018).

The state of the art for wearable antennas for wireless communication and biological applications is compiled in this article. It addresses a wide range of subjects, such as how to use novel materials like Artificial Magnetic Conductors (AMC) and Metamaterial (MTM) structures to enhance antenna performance. It also covers the design of dual-band and reconfigurable antennas and the use of machine learning to optimize aerial design. The main subject of this article is how wearable antennas could lead to advancements in wireless communication and healthcare in the future, perhaps improving lives worldwide. It includes implantable antennas, textile-based antennas, and various flexible graphene-based antenna varieties. The use of wearable antennas for brain stroke diagnostics, wireless body area networks, telemedicine, and breast imaging is covered in this study. Additionally covered are reconfigurable antennas based on Metamaterial (MTM)structures and Wideband on-body antennas inspired by Metamaterials (MTM), both of these applications are useful in the assembly of wearable antennas, which is the main goal of this work. The research also discusses how metamaterials (MTM) might raise the sensitivity of the bioelectric field, enabling precise bioelectric signal monitoring. Metamaterial (MTM) antennas function reliably in a range of biomedical applications and can adjust to the electromagnetic properties.
