Today the world is surrounded by an embedded system to build an easier, convenient, and effective life. The expansion of the Internet of things (IoT) and the industrial cyber-physical system established by Industry 4.0 concept has flourished man’s life to bloom up stage by providing benefits to the healthcare and biopharmaceutical sector with new research and development. Devices with smart sensor act as an auxiliary therapy in diversified cases with modern tools and technology which have refined mankind. With the usage of smart devices, one can now monitor real-time data and get the accurate biological functioning of the body. Nowadays, wristband equipped with an accelerometer, optical sensor, and electrodes is most trending among people equipped for predicting the body functions by sensing temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, sleep pattern, etc. This chapter highlights the potential applications of smart devices in sundry clinical scenarios. This chapter focuses on various smart sensors such as smart orthopedic devices, smart inhalers, insulin devices, pulse sensors, temperature sensors, cardiac and motor activity monitors and device sensing mechanisms. Along with this, the employment of these sensors in the healthcare sector for different body organs like lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract, brain, and heart has been discussed. Moreover, various challenges faced by the user, in conjunction with its future perspective, are emphasized.
