Abstract

This chapter introduces some sensors/transducers currently available for the monitoring of human dynamic behavior in space. There exist some technological initiatives towards the production of sensors to enable the acquisition of data from the human locomotor system. Some of these initiatives include wearable chemical sensors whose principle focuses on non-invasive chemical analysis of biofluids including sweat, tears, saliva, or interstitial fluid. These types of biosensors enable continuous and real-time monitoring of the relevant biomarkers.
