Flexible sensors are required to be lightweight, compatible with the skin, sufficiently sensitive, and easily integrated to extract various kinds of body vital signs during continuous healthcare monitoring in daily life. For this, a simple and low-cost flexible temperature and force sensor that uses only two carbon fiber beams as the sensing layer is reported in this work. This simple, flexible sensor can not only monitor skin temperature changes in real time but can also extract most pulse waves, including venous waves, from most parts of the human body. A pulse diagnostic glove containing three such flexible sensors was designed to simulate pulse diagnostic methods used in traditional Chinese medicine. Wearable equipment was also designed in which four flexible sensors were fixed onto different body parts (neck, chest, armpit, and fingertip) to simultaneously monitor body temperature, carotid pulse, fingertip artery pulse, and respiratory rate. Four important physiological indicators—body temperature (BT), blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate (RR)—were extracted by the wearable equipment and analyzed to identify exercise, excited, tired, angry, and frightened body states.

柔性传感器必须轻巧，与皮肤兼容，足够灵敏并且易于集成，以在日常生活中持续进行医疗保健监视期间提取各种人体生命体征。为此，在这项工作中报道了一种简单且低成本的柔性温度和力传感器，该传感器仅使用两个碳纤维束作为传感层。这种简单，灵活的传感器不仅可以实时监控皮肤温度的变化，而且还可以从人体大部分部位提取大部分脉搏波，包括静脉波。设计了一个包含三个此类柔性传感器的脉冲诊断手套，以模拟中药中使用的脉冲诊断方法。还设计了可穿戴设备，其中将四个柔性传感器固定到不同的身体部位（颈部，胸部，腋窝，和指尖）以同时监测体温，颈动脉搏动，指尖动脉搏动和呼吸频率。可穿戴设备提取了四个重要的生理指标，即体温（BT），血压（BP），心率（HR）和呼吸率（RR），并进行了分析，以识别运动，兴奋，疲倦，生气和害怕身体状态。
