For multifunctional wearable sensing systems, problems related to wireless and continuous communication and soft, noninvasive, and disposable functionality issues should be solved for precise physiological signal detection. To measure the critical transitions of pressure, temperature, and skin impedance when continuous pressure is applied on skin and tissue, we developed a sensor for decubitus ulcers using conventional analog circuitry for wireless and continuous communication in a disposable, breathable fabric-based multifunctional sensing system capable of conformal contact. By integrating the designed wireless communication module into a multifunctional sensor, we obtained sensing data that were sent sequentially and continuously to a customized mobile phone app. With a small-sized and lightweight module, our sensing system operated over 24 h with a coin-cell battery consuming minimum energy for intermittent sensing and transmission. We conducted a pilot test on healthy subjects to evaluate the adequate wireless operation of the multifunctional sensing system when applied to the body. By solving the aforementioned practical problems, including those related to wireless and continuous communication and soft, noninvasive, and disposable functionality issues, our fabric-based multifunctional decubitus ulcer sensor successfully measured applied pressure, skin temperature, and electrical skin impedance.

Inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (IPNCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, problems arise from anion migration during the preparation of a blue light-emitting diode (LED), and only small-scale syntheses have been conducted on a laboratory scale. By using only Br as the anion here, CsPbBr 3 was synthesized in the form of nanoplatelets to eliminate the effects of anion migration and to prepare an inorganic perovskite nanoplatelet (IPNPL) emitting blue light. In addition, the synthesis was performed under ambient conditions at room temperature, and the synthetic process was shortened to enable large-scale synthesis. We used a 1 L bottle for large-scale synthesis, and a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 78% was observed at 460 nm. We fabricated LEDs by using IPNPLs, and we observed an electroluminescence peak at 461 nm. The developed synthetic method is expected to pave the way for commercialization of IPNCs and the next-generation display market.
