Congrats on Xiaodong’s paper on ACS Sensors!

Paper title: Home-Made, Self-Powered, Skin-Attachable Sensing Platform for Diverse Vital Sign Monitoring

Abstract: Wearable electronic sensors that can perform real-time, continuous, and high-fidelity monitoring of diverse biophysical signals from the human body are burgeoning and exhibit great potential to transform traditional clinical healthcare. However, such emerging devices often suffer from strict requirements of special precursor materials and sophisticated fabrication procedures. Here, we present a new paradigm of a self-powered, skin-attachable, and multifunctional sensing platform that can be fully created just at home with daily necessities. Its operating mechanism is based on mechanical/thermal regulation of the potential difference output of a primary electrochemical cell. This proposed sensing platform is totally self-powered and can be conformally attached to the skin for continuous monitoring of both mechanical and thermal stimulations. A wide spectrum of vital physiological signs of the human body, including body temperature, heart/pulse rate, respiratory rate, coughing, and body motions, can be continuously monitored and analyzed with this home-made sensing platform. This study demonstrates that the lab-conducted professional and expensive scientific research can also be accomplished at home, opening up new opportunities for home-centered healthcare in low-resource environments. Moreover, this work can serve as a handy and cost-efficient prototype for classroom education and clinical training purposes.
