The swift advancement of Internet technology has catalyzed the proliferation of wearable intelligent devices. These devices seamlessly integrate technology into everyday life, facilitating instantaneous health surveillance. These devices, leveraging plastic electronics, offer unprecedented flexibility and user interface accessibility, marking a significant shift from traditional mobile technologies. This paper explores the advancements in wearable electronics, focusing on plastic substrates' role in enhancing device functionality and user comfort. It highlights key materials like spray-on metallic plastic and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which contribute to the development of lightweight, flexible electronic components for health monitoring applications. Technological progress in smart wearables, including dual strain-temperature sensors and self-compensating temperature sensors, demonstrates their potential in the health and rehabilitation sectors. The paper examines wearable applications in continuous body temperature monitoring, crucial for early disease detection and managing cardiovascular health. It concludes by addressing the challenges in wearable technology, emphasizing the integration of devices into daily life and the exploration of new applications to improve health and convenience.
