Abstract The treatment, diagnosis, and monitoring of diseases have attracted more attention in recent years. Healthcare electronics help effectively treat real‐time monitor diseases. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) show great potential for healthcare applications because their superiority including low cost, flexible structures, self‐powered property. Herein, the key advancements TENG‐based are comprehensively reviewed. TENGs could not only harvest mechanical energy from body to make electrical stimulation but also generate different signals response external stimuli. Integrated systems combined with other sensors promote sensing stability. materials, working mechanisms, performance each application discussed. existing limitations prospects further finally put forward.
