Wearable fractal integrated antennas for medical applications

Abstract

Wearable embedded antennas are becoming increasingly vital in modern healthcare, enabling continuous monitoring and communication for medical purposes. Integrated into wearable devices, these antennas facilitate the transmission and reception of crucial health data, such as pulse rate, body temperature, and blood pressure, to healthcare professionals or real-time monitoring systems. This instant data transmission allows for swift interventions, thereby enhancing the quality of healthcare services. The aim of this study is to summarize recent research carried out in prestigious databases, focusing on the specificity and effectiveness of wearable fractal antennas used in medical applications. This synthesis offers valuable insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to develop and implement wearable integrated fractal antennas in the medical field, ultimately improving healthcare and patient outcomes.
