Challenges and Future Direction
摘要
This concluding chapter examines the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of graphene-based wearable sensors for health monitoring. Particular attention is given to non-invasive devices, which offer clear advantages in terms of safety and functionality. Graphene and its derivatives hold considerable promise for medical applications due to their remarkable physical and chemical properties. However, despite encouraging advances in laboratory research, a notable gap remains between experimental innovation and successful translation into clinical practice. This text critically discusses the key barriers impeding broader adoption, e.g., biocompatibility, scalability, and long-term stability issues. It also underscores the importance of developing cost-effective manufacturing techniques, ensuring consistent performance, and achieving robust mechanical integration, vital for commercial viability. Addressing these challenges will require a concerted, interdisciplinary effort. The report requests greater collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals and invites readers to reflect on the path forward in realising the full potential of these technologies to improve patient care and inform future public health strategies.
