Flexible optical fiber sensors for human activity monitoring and healthcare (IMAGE)
Caption
The recent development in the utilization of flexible optical fiber sensors and the prospective application scenarios were then summarized, which encompass human activity monitoring and healthcare, biomedical diagnosis and therapy, soft robots, and human-machine interfaces. Differing traditional photonic devices, the exceptional mechanical flexibility and high biocompatibility of flexible optical fiber sensors enable the dynamic tracking of a wide range of strain in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, optical fibers deepen the depth of penetration of light signals into tissues, which meets the requirement for deep tissue monitoring. Thereby demonstrating the superiority and potential value of flexible optical fiber sensing.
