Abstract

Wearable monitoring systems is one of the growing technologies in the medical field. Thus, the present study was conducted to identify and assess wearable monitoring systems in the medical field. This narrative review was carried out by searching in reliable scientific databases such as PubMed, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, Springer, and Iranian databases like Magiran and SID. In order to search in the English databases, keywords such as “wearable technologies in health” “taxonomy of wearable technologies”, and “wearable sensors” were used, and in order to search in the Persian databases, the Persian translation of these keywords were employed. No related articles were found in Persian literature. However, 30 related articles were retrieved from the English databases. All articles that focused on classification, identification, and review of wearable systems in medicine were included in this study. In order to identify wearable technologies accurately, their classification dimensions have been explained in this article.
