Atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF), are a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Early detection and effective management are critical to mitigating adverse outcomes such as stroke, heart failure, and overall mortality. Wearable devices have emerged as promising tools for monitoring, detecting, and managing atrial arrhythmias near-continuously.

Liquid-based encapsulation for implantable bioelectronics across broad pH environments.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Institute of Materials Science, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, 06269, USA.

Wearable and implantable bioelectronics that can interface for extended periods with highly mobile organs and tissues across a broad pH range would be useful for various applications in basic biomedical research and clinical medicine. The encapsulation of these systems, however, presents a major challenge, as such devices require superior barrier performance against water and ion penetration in challenging pH environments while also maintaining flexibility and stretchability to match the physical properties of the surrounding tissue. Current encapsulation materials are often limited to near-neutral pH conditions, restricting their application range.

Surface Fluorination of Silicone Rubber with Enhanced Stain Resistance and Slip Properties.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials Engineering, College of Polymer Science and Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan 610065, P.R. China.

Silicone rubber (SR) holds significant potential for everyday wearable devices due to its inherent sweat resistance and flexibility. However, its broader applicability is constrained by poor oil resistance and a suboptimal slip performance. In this study, we developed an SR with durable oil resistance and enhanced slip properties by forming a covalently bonded barrier layer on its surface through a one-step in situ fluorination reaction using F/N.

Depression Recognition Using Daily Wearable-Derived Physiological Data.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.

The objective identification of depression using physiological data has emerged as a significant research focus within the field of psychiatry. The advancement of wearable physiological measurement devices has opened new avenues for the identification of individuals with depression in everyday-life contexts. Compared to other objective measurement methods, wearables offer the potential for continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, which can capture subtle physiological changes indicative of depressive states.

Action Recognition in Basketball with Inertial Measurement Unit-Supported Vest.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Computer Engineering Department, Engineering Faculty, Aydın Adnan Menderes University, Aydın 09100, Türkiye.

In this study, an action recognition system was developed to identify fundamental basketball movements using a single Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor embedded in a wearable vest. This study aims to enhance basketball training by providing a high-performance, low-cost solution that minimizes discomfort for athletes. Data were collected from 21 collegiate basketball players, and movements such as dribbling, passing, shooting, layup, and standing still were recorded.
