The global invasive sensors market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period (2018-2023). A minimally invasive medical procedure is carried out by entering the sensor to the body through skin, cavity or anatomical opening, with the smallest damage possible to the body. There are various types of invasive sensors such as image sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, and biosensor.

Researchers at Stanford University in the US have developed new sensors that can be adhered to the skin for wireless monitoring of health. The sensors are designed to identify the physiological signals that the skin emanates, such as pulse. These readings will be wirelessly transmitted to a receiver clipped onto clothing. The sensor and receiver system has been named BodyNet.

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland are developing smart sensors which can monitor the healing progress of a wound, eliminating the need to look underneath a bandage.
