Graphene in Wearable Sensors for Health Monitoring

This book highlights the advancement of graphene-based non-invasive sensors for health monitoring. Graphene has been considered the strongest and thinnest known material to date. Unlike most semiconductor systems, its two-dimensional (2D) electronic state can be accessed directly by tunneling or other local probes. With their mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, graphene-based materials have shown effectiveness in sensing various biophysical and biochemical signals such as body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and electrocardiograms, electromyograms, and electroencephalograms.

Highlights the use of graphene-based non-invasive sensors for health monitoring Presents an overview of the biocompatibility of graphene and the challenges in such applications Discusses the advantages of graphene over other materials used for sensing
