Obstructive sleep apnea is a globally prevalent concern with significant health impacts, especially when coupled with comorbidities. Accurate detection and localization of airway obstructions are crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment, which remains a challenge for traditional sleep monitoring methods. Here, we report a catheter-based flexible pressure sensor array that continuously monitors soft tissue pressure in the upper airway and facilitates at the millimeter level.

However, the complex fabrication process of such flexible devices results in high prices, limiting their applications in real-life scenarios. This study proposes a flexible, low-cost, and easy-processing paper-based humidity sensor for sleep respiratory monitoring.

Article Synopsis
- High-accuracy human motion recognition is crucial for technologies like assistive robotics and medical prosthetics, focusing on force myography (FMG) signals for effective locomotion classification.
- This study introduces a new FMG sensing method using flexible supercapacitive iontronic sensors, which offer exceptional sensitivity and low activation pressure for capturing FMG signals from the thigh.
- Testing with 12 participants showed that this method achieved 99% accuracy in classifying various locomotion types, outperforming traditional sensors by up to 10 percentage points, enhancing potential applications in rehabilitation and medical fields.
