Abstract
Accurate
and
real‐time
detection
of
human
body
temperature
changes
is
crucial
to
understand
thermal
homeostasis,
access
complex
health
conditions,
further
build
a
smart
healthcare
system.
Recent
years
have
seen
sensors
open
up
many
potential
applications
in
electronic
skin,
artificial
intelligence,
next‐generation
robots.
Currently,
traditional
mercury
infrared
thermometers
are
extensively
used
for
detection.
However,
they
still
suffer
from
rigid
appearance,
slow
response,
insufficient
sensitivity,
low
accuracy,
harm
risk
the
users.
Therefore,
it
highly
desired
develop
more
breathable,
deformable,
economically
available
functional
materials
construct
flexible
high
performance
sensors.
Alternatively,
fiber
attracted
attention
owing
their
soft,
flexible,
porous
features.
This
review
summarizes
comprehensive
research
advancement
field
constructed
with
materials.
Temperature
sensing
mechanisms,
constructing
materials,
characterizations,
practical
applications,
fiber‐based
different
structural
designs
systematically
introduced
at
great
length.
Research
outlook
prospects
will
be
presented
inspire
readers.
