Abstract
Wearable healthcare devices are expected to greatly improve the quality of human life by providing continuous health monitoring, remedying weakened or lost body or organ functions, and sometimes enabling superhuman capabilities. Enabled by recent advancements in soft matter, nanotechnology, integrated circuits, portable power technology, and artificial intelligence (AI), and inspired by the demands of healthcare applications, wearable ultrasound research has gained unprecedented momentum and is expected to play an increasingly important role in continuous healthcare sensing, imaging, therapy, drug delivery applications, and so on.
