A new touch sensor device has been demonstrated with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) field effect transistors stacked with a piezoelectric polymer, polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE). The performance of two device stack structures, metal/PVDF-TrFE/MoS2 (MPM) and metal/PVDF-TrFE/Al2O3/MoS2 (MPAM), were compared as a function of the thickness of PVDF-TrFE and Al2O3. The sensitivity of the touch sensor has been improved by two orders of magnitude by reducing the charge scattering and enhancing the passivation effects using a thin Al2O3 interfacial layer. Reliable switching behavior has been demonstrated up to 120 touch press cycles.

In recent advancements within sensing technology, driven by the Internet of Things (IoT), significant impacts are observed on health sector applications, notably through wearable electronics like electronic tattoos (e-tattoos). These e-tattoos, designed for direct contact with the skin, facilitate precise monitoring of vital physiological parameters, including body heat, a critical indicator for conditions such as inflammation and infection. Monitoring these indicators can be crucial for early detection of chronic conditions, steering toward proactive healthcare management.

Physical contact between infants and caregivers is crucial for attachment development. Previous research shows that skin-to-skin contact after birth and frequent baby wearing in the first year predict secure attachment at 12-months. This relationship is thought to be mediated by the activation of infants' parasympathetic nervous system through caregiver touch.

Hydrogel-based flexible electronic components have become the optimal solution to address the rigidity problem of traditional electronics in health management. In this study, a multipurpose hydrogel is introduced, which is formed by combining a dual-network consisting of physical (chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)) and chemical (poly(isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM)-co-acrylamide (AM))) cross-linking, along with signal conversion fillers (eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn), TiC MXene, polyaniline (PANI)) for responding to external stimuli. Multiple sensing of dynamic and static signals is permissible for it.

The material of an object is an inherent property that can be perceived through various sensory modalities, yet the integration of multisensory information substantially improves the accuracy of these perceptions. For example, differentiating between a ceramic and a plastic cup with similar visual properties may be difficult when relying solely on visual cues. However, the integration of touch and audio feedback when interacting with these objects can significantly clarify these distinctions.

Background: Long-term unobtrusive monitoring of breathing patterns can potentially give a more realistic insight into the respiratory health of people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than brief tests performed in medical environments. However, it is uncertain whether users would be willing to wear these sensor garments long term.
Objective: Our objective was to explore whether users would wear ordinary looking knitted garments with unobtrusive knitted-in breathing sensors long term to monitor their lung health and under what conditions.
