“…Measuring respiratory rate is of great importance as it is related to the human health status, [58,62,63] from physical activity to mental status. [64][65][66] The respiratory rate provides critical information for patients suffering from asthma, sleep apnea, Covid-19, postoperative respiratory instability, sport science, etc. [60,[67][68][69] Manual breath counting by trained medical staff is one of the most commonly used methods.…”

Wearable sensors are emerging as a new technology to detect physiological and biochemical markers for remote health monitoring. By measuring vital signs such as respiratory rate, body temperature, and blood oxygen level, wearable sensors offer tremendous potential for the noninvasive and early diagnosis of numerous diseases such as Covid‐19. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made to develop wearable sensors with high sensitivity, accuracy, flexibility, and stretchability, bringing to reality a new paradigm of remote health monitoring. In this review paper, the latest advances in wearable sensor systems that can measure vital signs at an accuracy level matching those of point‐of‐care tests are presented. In particular, the focus of this review is placed on wearable sensors for measuring respiratory behavior, body temperature, and blood oxygen level, which are identified as the critical signals for diagnosing and monitoring Covid‐19. Various designs based on different materials and working mechanisms are summarized. This review is concluded by identifying the remaining challenges and future opportunities for this emerging field.
