Wearable device, on-body antenna, antenna designAbstract
Wearable device has become more popular nowadays. Wristband and glasses are now capable to sense and track our daily activities. It also becomes useful in medical field where physician can track their patient’s activities and monitor their condition remotely. The wearable device is equipped with antenna to transmit the entire sensor’s data to the monitoring system. The design of antenna is very important to ensure the wearer is comfortable when using the device for whole day without affecting the antenna performance. The paper aims to discuss on current design of wearable antenna in medical field and its current challenges. The advantages and disadvantages of certain design will also be highlighted. From the design and challenge discussed, the important factor for wearable antenna’s design will be listed in the conclusion.
