Abstract: With many outstanding characteristics, two-dimensional (2D) materials are suitable for the next-generation electronic device applications. In recent years, flexible electronic devices used for daily health monitoring applications have achieved rapid development due to their advantages in high-quality physiological signal monitoring and suitable for system integration. 2D materials have excellent mechanical and electrical properties, demonstrating significant advantages in flexible devices. In this talk, recent advances in flexible devices using 2D materials for daily physiological signal monitoring are introduced. In addition, the typical multifunctional, highly integrated device systems are shown, such as the intelligent artificial throat, the imperceptible intellignet ECG system, etc., which are competent for daily independent work and long-term in situ sensing-processing diagnosis of physiological signals in daily life.
