Flexible
sensors have attracted significant attention
for medical
applications. Herein, an AI-assisted stretchable polymer-based (AISP)
sensor has been developed based on the Beer–Lambert law for
disease monitoring and telenursing. Benefiting from the use of superior
polymer materials, the AISP sensor features a high tensile strain
of up to 100%, durability of >10,000 tests, excellent waterproofness,
and no effect of temperature (1.6–60.9 °C). Such advantages
support the capability that the AISP can be flexibly pasted on the
skin surface as a wearable device for real-time monitoring of multiple
physiological parameters. An AISP sensor-based swallowing recognition
technique has been proposed with a high accuracy of up to 88.89%.
Likewise, it has been expanded to a remote nursing assistance system
to meet critical patients’ physiological requirements and daily
care. The hands-free communication experiment and robot control applications
have also been successfully conducted based on the constructed system.
Such merits demonstrate its potential as a medical toolkit and indicate
promise for intelligent healthcare.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
