Dear Colleagues,
Wearable devices for environmental monitoring are an interesting research topic because they can monitor various environmental factors such as air quality, water quality, noise levels, weather, and climate monitoring with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT). They can also monitor personal exposure to environmental pollutants and provide real-time feedback to the user. Many researchers are working to design wearable devices to acquire high-resolution geo-tagged data and provide real-time environmental data. Important motivations for why researchers should think about developing such devices are personalized environmental awareness, health and safety, data collection and research, early warning systems, education and awareness, public health monitoring, and personalized recommendations. Designing wearable devices for environmental monitoring not only has the potential to improve individual well-being but can also play a significant role in addressing global environmental challenges, fostering sustainability, and raising awareness about critical issues. It has a considerable potential for fulfilling consumer demand and offering opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. Challenges in this research domain are developing new materials that are lightweight, flexible, durable, and suitable for wearable devices, advancements in sensor technology and their integration into wearable devices, developing proper human-computer interaction (HCI), developing energy-efficient power sources and management systems for wearable devices, study on data Processing and data analytics, improvement in wireless communications in terms of improving communication protocols, network reliability, and data security.
This section collection aims to present the current state-of-the-art in the diverse and evolving field of wearable device design for environmental monitoring, with the goal of providing solutions for innovative, practical, and user-centered wearable solutions that will contribute to a healthier, more informed, and more sustainable future for all.
For this, it is essential to collect and analyze the results of various research studies that have been conducted. Research articles and reviews in this field are encouraged.
