title: [A novel model of the medical instrumentation--an overview of wearable sensors and systems].
abstract: The traditional medical instrumentation is now not suited for the transformation of the present healthcare model. It's an attempt to make a breakthrough on traditions to develop wearable sensors/systems. Five articles about wearable technology are selected by this special topic. And our aim is to inspire the designers of medical devices to grasp the chance and to take a vigorous action on innovatory developments, so as to satisfy the huge requirements of the healthcare market, and to open a new era of the medical device industry.
