Water is an essential element for life. A minimum of 5L/day of drinking water is required for a person to survive with normal activities.[1] Currently, 2.1 billion people globally have limited access to safe drinking water. Additionally, about 6% of deaths in underdeveloped countries are caused by drinking unsafe water.[2] To address water scarcity, the research community has proposed a variety of

A Wearable Capacitive Sensor Based on Ring/Disk-Shaped Electrode and Porous Dielectric for Noncontact Healthcare Monitoring. Glob. Chall. (IF 4.306) Pub Date : 2020-03-18 Ya-Nan Zheng,Zhe Yu,Guoyong Mao,Yunyao Li,Dhanapal Pravarthana,Waqas Asghar,Yiwei Liu,Shaoxing Qu,Jie Shang,Run-Wei Li
Wearable sensors are gradually enabling decentralized healthcare systems. However, these sensors need to be closely attached to skin, which is unsuitable for long‐term dynamic health monitoring of the patients, such as infants or persons with burn injuries. Here, a wearable capacitive sensor based on the capacitively coupled effect for healthcare monitoring in noncontact mode is reported. It consists
