“…Moreover, fast responses and biocompatibility have been issues in wearables for a long time. As a response to the above-mentioned issues, Bidsorki et al [159] developed a wearable and smart face mask with graphene materials that could easily be used in healthcare for real-time monitoring of human respiration. The smart face masks were fabricated with graphene nanoplatelets and polycaprolactone (PCL) over normal surgical masks in a certain polymeric matrix.…”

Graphene has earned significant attention in the present world due to its light weight and extremely good conductive properties, which are used in different functional materials and smart devices. With skyrocketing demand, wearable sensors are evolving with many essential functionalities and flexibility in use. Moreover, wearable sensors can show some marvelous activities easily when they are incorporated with different nanomaterials and two‐dimensional (2D) materials. Therefore, after the immense effort and diligence of scientists over the years, wearable sensors can successfully exhibit numerous potential applications, such as motion detection, artificial intelligence, prosthetic skin, intelligent robotics, and human‐machine interface and interaction. With the rapid development of flexible, perceptible electrical devices, graphene‐based wearable sensors play an eminent role in healthcare. In this work, a comprehensive overview of recent research on wearable sensors and integrated systems for various sections of healthcare is demonstrated. Along with discussing the basic properties of graphene and the fabrication methods for graphene‐based wearable sensors, this work can help the scientists address them and set a projection for future studies. Wearable graphene‐based sensors have great potential to make healthcare facilities more accessible and enhance the quality of sensing activities, which has enormous implications for the future of healthcare.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have recently gained attention as a compelling platform technology for building wearable bioelectronics. Aside from being self‐powered, TENGs are lightweight, low in cost, rich in material choice, comfortable to wear, and increasingly versatile with advances in sensitivity and efficiency. Due to these features, TENGs have become appealing in biomedical sensing applications, especially for human respiration monitoring. A wealth of information can be collected by breath‐induced electrical signals, which are crucial in the analysis of a patient's respiratory condition and the early detection of harmful respiratory‐linked diseases. TENGs have thus been used to continuously collect important respiratory data, from the breathing patterns, flow rate, and intensity of an individual's respiratory cycle to the chemicals that may be present in their breath. This review paper provides an overview of recent developments in TENG‐based wearable respiratory monitoring as well as future opportunities and challenges for respiratory healthcare.

“…Some commercial integrated sensors such as PPG or ultrasound devices based on a consequence of an organ activity like oxygen level variation measurements due to breathing could also detect and analyze respiratory behavior, , but most of the wearable sensors make people go through the troubles of the heavy device, inherent complexity, skin discomfort, even inflammation and itching. Several working mechanisms (i.e., piezoelectric, capacitive, piezoresistive sensors) have been adopted to develop strain/pressure sensors embedded into clothes to achieve wearable and noninvasive respiratory monitoring since the lung displacement results in deformations of the thoracoabdominal surface . However, some of the above techniques limit the practical application for noninvasive and continuous monitoring due to the nonflexible base, low sensitivity, sensing instability, and poor washability.…”

Respiration, an important vital sign, is regarded as the critical parameter for early illness diagnosis and physiological monitoring, which raises an urgent demand for respiratory sensing technology and received great attention due to its promising applications for human healthcare. Here, an ultrasoft helical triboelectric nanogenerator-based pressure sensor is presented with the features of excellent sensitivity, sensing stability, and waterproofness for noninvasive and continuous respiratory monitoring. Leveraging the helical functional fibers inserted in a rubber tube, the pressure sensor is endowed with an extremely high sensitivity of up to 1.726 V/N, a remarkable response time of 20 ms, and mechanical durability under harsh deformations. Thanks to such merits, the pressure sensor is illustrated to be able to recognize respiratory signals, and a real-time respiratory monitoring system with high accuracy has been successfully built for continuous respiratory information acquisition, including respiratory intensity, rate, and interval. These experimental results indicate that the proposed pressure sensor enables the noninvasive and effective monitoring of respiratory behaviors for further assessment and diagnosis of related lung/respiratory disease, suggesting great potential in flexible sensors or wearable electronics for human health care.
