Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the role of smart materials, specifically triboelectric and piezoelectric materials, in the context of human-integrated healthcare systems. The study begins by elucidating the fundamentals of smart materials in healthcare, providing a detailed definition and characteristics of these materials and underscoring their paramount importance in advancing healthcare technologies. The research approach employed in this study involves a combination of literature review, experimental investigation, and computational modeling to analyze the potential of smart materials in healthcare applications. The subsequent sections delve into the individual contributions of triboelectric and piezoelectric materials in healthcare systems, outlining their unique attributes and potential applications. Eventually, real-world implementation challenges, such as scaling p production, ensuring stability, and establishing ethical deployment protocols, are meticulously examined.
