Abstract
Wearable textile electronics are highly desirable for realizing personalized health management through non-invasive monitoring of the individual’s physiological condition. However, most reported textile electronics can either periodically target a single physiological signal or miss the explicit details of the signals, leading to a partial assessment of the health condition. Furthermore, electronic textiles with excellent sensing property as well as comfortable wearability remain a challenge. Here, we report a triboelectric all-textile sensor-array (TATSA), with high pressure sensitivity and comfort, for monitoring epidermal pressure related to physiological conditions. It exhibits high pressure sensitivity (7.84 mVPa-1), fast response time (20 ms), stability (> 100,000 cycles), wide working frequency bandwidth (up to 20 Hz), and machine washability (> 40 washes). The fabricated TATSAs were stitched into different parts of the clothes to monitor the arterial pulse waves and respiratory signals simultaneously for an accurate analysis of the physiological condition. We further developed a health monitoring system and demonstrated its use in long-term and non-invasive assessment of cardiovascular disease (CAD) and sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), which exhibits a great advancement in wearable textile electronics for quantitative analysis of some chronic diseases.
