Biodegradable Wearable Sensor with AI Enables Interference-Free Respiration Monitoring
Researchers developed a biodegradable, interference-resistant smart mask sensor with AI-driven respiratory classification capability.
Key Details
- 1The cellulose-based piezoresistive sensor maintains high accuracy across humidity (50–100% RH) and temperature (30–80°C) fluctuations.
- 2A unique cylindrical micro-dome structure and hydrogen bonding deliver high durability (over 25,000 breath cycles) and sensitivity (24 ms response time).
- 3Embedded wireless module streams respiratory data and supports deep-learning classification (~90% accuracy, ROC-AUC ≥ 0.96).
- 4Biodegradable components allow for breakdown within 150 days in soil, addressing e-waste concerns.
- 5Large-scale, low-cost fabrication demonstrated; applications range from at-home apnea screening to mass clinic deployment.
Why It Matters
This innovation enables accurate, real-time respiratory monitoring in diverse environments, paving the way for sustainable clinical and telehealth applications. The AI classification of breathing patterns expands the role of non-invasive, wearable sensors in remote patient care and disease management.
