Wearable Physical, Chemical and Biological Sensors introduces readers of all backgrounds—chemistry, electronics, photonics, biology, microfluidics, materials, and more—to the fundamental principles needed to develop wearable sensors for a host of different applications. The capability to continuously monitor organ-related biomarkers, environmental exposure, movement disorders, and other health conditions using miniaturized devices that operate in real time provides numerous benefits, such as avoiding or delaying the onset of disease, saving resources allocated to public health, and making better decisions on medical diagnostics or treatment. Worn like glasses, masks, wristwatches, fitness bands, tattoo-like devices, or patches, wearables are being boosted by the Internet of Things in combination with smart mobile devices. Besides, wearables for smart agriculture are also covered. Written by experts in their respective fields, Wearable Physical, Chemical and Biological Sensors provides insights on how to design, fabricate, and operate these sensors.
- Provides a holistic view of the field, covering physical, chemical, and biosensing approaches along with the advantages of their various functionalities
- Covers all necessary elements for developing wearable sensors, including materials, biorecognition elements, transductions systems, signal amplification strategies, and system design considerations
- Each chapter includes examples, summaries, and references for further reading

Eden Morales-Narvaez
Eden Morales-Narváez is a Young Professor in the Department of Photonics and Head of the Biophotonic Nanosensors Laboratory at Centro de Investigaciones en Óptica (CIO), Mexico. He received a degree in Bionics Engineering from the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico in 2006 and the Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain, in 2013. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and started his independent career in late 2016. His research is focused on novel (bio)sensing platforms, particularly using nanophotonics at the cutting-edge. He has published in leading scientific journals on Advanced Materials, Nanotechnology, Multidisciplinary Chemistry, Miniaturization, Biosensing and Wearable Devices. He is a Lecturer in Biophotonics and Photonic Materials at CIO. He also serves as an Editor to the Journal of Physics: Photonics, Biosensors (MDPI), and Frontiers (Nanobiotechnology and Biosensors and Biomolecular Electronics Sections). He has also been internationally recognized as an Emerging Leader 2020 by IOP Publishing.

Can Dincer
Can Dincer is currently Junior Research Group Leader at the FIT Freiburg Center for Interactive Materials and Bioinspired Technologies and the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK), University of Freiburg. His working group’s main research interests are the development of bioanalytical microsystems for various applications including diagnostics, especially wearables and point-of-care diagnostics, food and environmental monitoring. Having completed his studies in microsystems engineering, Dr. Dincer received a Ph.D. degree with summa cum laude from the University of Freiburg in 2016. In early 2017, he has been awarded the second place in Gips-Schüle Young Scientist Award for his dissertation. Between 2017 and 2019, Dr. Dincer also worked as a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London. In September 2019, he joined the editorial team of the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics as an Associate Editor. In late 2019, Dr. Dincer received the Adolf Martens Prize in the category "Analytical Chemistry." In September 2020, he won the Best Paper Award 2020 of iba Heiligenstadt with his publication on the first CRISPR-powered electrochemical microfluidic biosensor in “Advanced Materials.” Besides, in 2020, Dr. Dincer is also recognized within 25 early stage investigators advancing the field of sensor science in the Special Issue “Rising Stars in Sensing” of the journal ACS Sensors.
