This paper aims to review the various technologies behind wearable biosensors and where there are areas for improvements to be made. The theoretical foundation of this paper was formed by conducting a comprehensive literature review on wearable biosensors. There are three main biosensor technologies that are presented in this paper. The three main wearable biosensor technologies that are most prominent include accelerometers and motion sensors, biochemical sensors, and photoplethysmographic sensors. The empirical research that was used is limited to 15 papers from relevant conferences and journals associated with the medical device industry. Wearable biosensor technologies clearly have several clinical applications that make them one of the most appealing tools in the medical device industry. This paper illustrates that wearable biosensor technologies definitely have the capability to make a significant impact on the medical device industry because of their compact and diverse nature.
Author Keywords: Wearable Biosensors, Wearable Biochemical sensors, Photoplethysmographic Sensors, Accelerometers, Biosensor Technologies.
