Abstract
Wearable sensors provide continuous physiological information and measure deviations from healthy baselines, resulting in the potential to personalize health management and diagnosis of diseases. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, functionalized face masks as smart wearable sensors for multimodal and/or multiplexed measurement of physical parameters and biochemical markers have become the general population for physiological health management and environmental pollution monitoring. This Review examines recent advances in applications of smart face masks based on implantation of digital technologies and electronics and focuses on respiratory monitoring applications with the advantages of autonomous flow driving, enrichment enhancement, real-time monitoring, diversified sensing, and easily accessible. In particular, the detailed introduction of diverse respiratory signals including physical, inhalational, and exhalant signals and corresponding associations of health management and environmental pollution is presented. In the end, we also provide a personal perspective on future research directions and the remaining challenges in the commercialization of smart functionalized face masks for multiple sensing.
期刊介绍:
ACS Sensors is a peer-reviewed research journal that focuses on the dissemination of new and original knowledge in the field of sensor science, particularly those that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to biosensors, chemical sensors, gas sensors, intracellular sensors, single molecule sensors, cell chips, and microfluidic devices. It aims to publish articles that address conceptual advances in sensing technology applicable to various types of analytes or application papers that report on the use of existing sensing concepts in new ways or for new analytes.
