Medical devices based on wearable sensors (WSs)/Internet-of-things (IoT) allow continuous physiological monitoring with reduced manual intervention, thus can increase the performance and reduce cost. WSs are typically integrated into sensor networks comprising other body-worn sensors and/or ambient sensors. WS/IoT are emerging as an effective tool for prevention, early detection, and management of activities of daily life (ADLs), long-term conditions (LTCs), and falls among older adults. Wearable sensors include different types of materials with capability to “sense” change, such as smart textiles and body-worn garments. They are becoming smaller, cheaper, and more consumer accessible associated with fast technology advancement. It is expected that they will be used more extensively across a wide variety of contexts. The expansion of wearable/IoT systems for data collection offers the potential for...
