Abstract

Wearable smart sensors are emerging technology for daily monitoring of vital signs with the reducing discomfort and interference with normal human activities. This study highlights the usage of different types of sensors to improve epidemic disease control. However, essential vital signs to be measured in epidemics and emergencies are body temperature, respiratory rate, ECG, heart rate, and SpO2. A complete breakdown of wearable systems used in emergencies such as epidemics is given. Notably, implementing suitable technological solutions could enhance the management and control of epidemic disorders and providing constant monitoring of vital indications. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
