Abstract

The smart watch is a prevalent wearable device in the consumer electronics market. Its multifunctionality and handiness are the main advantages of the smart watch. Inside the smart watch, multiple miniature sensors make the smart watch available to realize various functions such as measuring sports kinetic parameters, monitoring oxygen saturation and calculating deep sleep time of its owner. Among the sensors, the photoplethysmography sensor, the electrocardiogram sensor and the electrodermal activity sensor take crucial parts of collecting and analyzing biological signal. Based on those, the heart rate, blood oxygen, level of physiological stress and anxiety can be easily shown to users. This paper, starting from the needs of smart watch users for the collection and analysis of biological signals during daily life, reviews academic writing about the latest developments on wearable device sensors. The principle of those sensors will be introduced, and their applications will be discussed, including methods of handling original signals, some ways to optimize the components of the sensors and their future in the wearable device market. The study methods being used in this paper are literature review method and case study method.
