Wearable technology is rapidly moving towards intelligent, flexible, and multifunctional integration. Its core challenge lies in achieving a balance between high sensitivity, autonomous power supply, data processing, and comfortable wear under conditions of limited volume, complex deformation, and dynamic interaction. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, with their atomic-level thickness, exceptional flexibility, rich surface chemistry, and tunable electrical and optical properties, provide a revolutionary material platform for building next-generation intelligent wearable systems. This paper first describes the characteristics of 2D materials (such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), MXenes, and black phosphorus), then introduces the research progress in wearable intelligent systems, including design strategies and technical paths for 2D materials in intelligent sensing interfaces, drive structures and human-computer interaction, neuromorphic computing and flexible circuits, energy and thermal management systems, and system integration. Next, it analyzes the challenges that 2D materials will face in the future, and finally provides a systematic summary of the current application of 2D materials in wearable technology, and looks forward to future development directions.
