Various types of nanosensors are used in wearable health monitors, including:
- Electrochemical nanosensors: These are used for monitoring glucose levels in diabetic patients. - Optical nanosensors: These can detect and measure specific biomarkers in the blood. - Piezoelectric nanosensors: These are used to monitor mechanical changes such as muscle activity.
Each type of sensor offers unique benefits and is chosen based on the specific health parameter it is intended to measure.
