Purpose

This paper aims to examine the next generation of wearable biosensors and their transformative potential in continuous health monitoring, with a focus on cardiovascular care, pediatric healthcare and mental wellness. While significant advancements have been made, challenges remain in integrating these technologies effectively, particularly regarding accuracy, long-term effectiveness and patient acceptance across diverse populations. The study reviews the current state of wearable biosensors, assesses their effectiveness in various clinical settings and identifies barriers to their widespread adoption.

Design/methodology/approach

A mixed-methods approach was used, combining expert reviews and clinical trial analyses.

Findings

Key findings highlight the promising benefits of wearable biosensors in reducing cardiovascular risks, managing pediatric conditions and promoting mental wellness through stress monitoring. However, challenges such as device miniaturization, energy efficiency and patient compliance persist. The review calls for further investment in the interoperability of wearable devices with existing healthcare infrastructure and the need for large-scale clinical trials. It emphasizes the potential for wearables to revolutionize patient care, while addressing concerns around data security, privacy and patient trust.

Research limitations/implications

Limitations include a focus on specific regions and the lack of longitudinal data. Future research should explore global adoption strategies, device customization and cross-disciplinary innovations to enhance the precision and impact of wearable biosensors in healthcare.

Originality/value

The novelty of the research lies in its exploration of recent advancements, especially the integration of nano and bioelectronic materials, which have enhanced the functionality of these devices for real-time health tracking and disease prevention.
