In this study, we developed a novel composite catalytic hydrogel, which integrates excellent mechanical properties, catalytic activity, and sensing performance. Discarded hydrogel sensors are reused as templates for in-situ generation of metal nanoparticles, and multifunctional hydrogels combining sensing and catalysis are realized. Polyacrylamide (PAM) provides a three-dimensional network structure, while octadecyl methacrylate (SMA) acts as a hydrophobic association center, enhancing the structural stability of the hydrogel.

Frequent glucose monitoring is essential for effective diabetes management. Currently, glucose monitoring is done using invasive methods such as finger-pricking and subcutaneous sensing. However, these methods can cause discomfort, heighten the risk of infection, and some sensing devices need frequent calibration.

: The objective of this paper is to introduce a method to measure the force or pressure over the carpal tunnel indirectly, using a new device to drive the pointer of a computer system. The measurements were compared with those obtained using an ergonomic mouse. Simultaneously, measurements of muscular stress on the digitorum extensor muscle were performed to correlate the applied force against muscle activity.

Sarcopenia has been a serious concern in the context of an increasingly aging global population. Existing detection methods for sarcopenia are severely constrained by cumbersome devices, the necessity for specialized personnel, and controlled experimental environments. In this study, we developed an innovative wearable fabric system based on conductive fabric and flexible sensor array.

Flexible sensors mimic the sensing ability of human skin, and have unique flexibility and adaptability, allowing users to interact with intelligent systems in a more natural and intimate way. To overcome the issues of low sensitivity and limited operating range of flexible strain sensors, this study presents a highly innovative preparation method to develop a conductive elastomeric sensor with a cracked thin film by combining polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNT). This novel design significantly increases both the sensitivity and operating range of the sensor (strain range 0-50%; the maximum tensile sensitivity of this sensor reaches 4.
