Moisture-Gated Bio-Semiconductor Electronic Tattoos for Continuous and Imperceptible On-Skin Respiratory Monitoring

. By detecting exhaled moisture directly on the philtrum, the sensor exhibits a rapid response time of 1 s and a recovery time between 2 and 10 s. A direct-spun nanofiber-based wiring strategy ensures robust integration, accommodating a 10 mm displacement under 10.4 MPa of stress without failure. Driven by a compact 3 g circuit with 20 mW of power consumption, the system supports continuous wireless data transmission for over 7.3 h. During vigorous exercise and sleep, the BSET reliably monitored respiratory dynamics, identifying 10-20 s apnea events and enabling multiparameter analysis of breathing frequency and exhalation intensity. This lightweight system establishes a scalable and clinically relevant solution for continuous respiratory surveillance.

Abstract

. By detecting exhaled moisture directly on the philtrum, the sensor exhibits a rapid response time of 1 s and a recovery time between 2 and 10 s. A direct-spun nanofiber-based wiring strategy ensures robust integration, accommodating a 10 mm displacement under 10.4 MPa of stress without failure. Driven by a compact 3 g circuit with 20 mW of power consumption, the system supports continuous wireless data transmission for over 7.3 h. During vigorous exercise and sleep, the BSET reliably monitored respiratory dynamics, identifying 10-20 s apnea events and enabling multiparameter analysis of breathing frequency and exhalation intensity. This lightweight system establishes a scalable and clinically relevant solution for continuous respiratory surveillance.
