Abstract

As the public’s demand for portable access to personal health information continues to expand, wearable devices are not only widely used in clinical practice, but also gradually applied to the daily health management of ordinary families due to their intelligence, miniaturization, and portability. This paper searches the literature of wearable devices through PubMed and CNKI databases, classifies them according to the different functions realized by wearable devices, and briefly describes the algorithms and specific analysis methods of their applications and made a prospect of its development trend in the field of human health.
