The miniaturization allows for a widespread use of sensors at humans while ensuring least backlash onto the user. Inertial sensors undergo a massive use as externally applied sensor devices for movement tracking in sports, work and as a signal input for assistance devices. Here, questions about packaging are already solved. Higher scientific and engineering questions and safety concerns remain for sensors applied inside the human body. Blood and tissue contact lead to very high demands on packaging stability with the additional requirement of biocompatibility. While for sensors for short time use inside the body diffusion processes have to be regarded, especially for implants a long-term sealing is necessary. For many types of implants expected to be used in the future, the packaging and assembly technologies are part of active research. This overview of state of the art sensors reveals main requirements and application hurdles for different application scenarios and for different locations where sensors are applied at and within the human body – starting from low to high invasivity. It turns out that the main parameters for widespread application are safety issues and the complexity of packaging technologies for the special sensor.
