Abstract

Healthcare smart sensors represent integrated sensing systems capable of capturing, processing, and transmitting vital health parameters in real-time using advanced embedded electronics and connectivity. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts, theoretical advances, types, applications, benefits, challenges, emerging trends, and future outlooks concerning smart sensors in healthcare and biomedicine. Detailed sub-sections analyze wearable, implantable and ambient varieties based on working principles, capabilities, and limitations. Remote patient monitoring, telehealth, elderly care, rehabilitation, and surgical assistance are among the promising application domains explored. Overall, the profound impact of smart sensors in accelerating the digital transformation of healthcare through continuous, real-time monitoring of vital parameters is highlighted alongside an optimistic outlook of further advances improving patient outcomes.
