“…9). Han et al designed a skin like flexible temperature sensor which used a resistance thermometer detector with the integration of near-field communication technique to achieve battery-free and wireless continuous monitoring of surface body temperature potentially anywhere on the body [142]. Huang et al studied a dual-heatflux method and developed a wearable thermometry which can measure the core body temperature by wearing a headband with built-in thermometer, with measurement error less than 0.1°C compared with the gold standard method [143].…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a pandemic with serious clinical manifestations including death.A pandemic at the large-scale like COVID-19 places extraordinary demands on the world's health systems, dramatically devastates vulnerable populations, and critically threatens the global communities in an unprecedented way. While tremendous efforts at the frontline are placed on detecting the virus, providing treatments and developing vaccines, it is also critically important to examine the technologies and systems for tackling disease emergence, arresting its spread and especially the strategy for diseases prevention. The objective of this article is to review enabling technologies and systems with various application scenarios for handling the COVID-19 crisis. The article will focus specifically on 1) wearable devices suitable for monitoring the populations at risk and those in quarantine, both for evaluating the health status of caregivers and management personnel, and for facilitating triage processes for admission to hospitals; 2) unobtrusive sensing systems for detecting the disease and for monitoring patients with relatively mild symptoms whose clinical situation could suddenly worsen in improvised hospitals; and 3) telehealth technologies for the remote monitoring and diagnosis of COVID-19 and related diseases. Finally, further challenges and opportunities for future directions of development are highlighted.

“…The simplest form of temperature sensing device is achievable with thin film conductors or semiconductors, utilizing the specific resistance of the material that changes with temperature . Spatiotemporal mapping of the skin can be achieved with semiconductor diodes with nanomembrane forms of silicon or other semiconductor materials . For increased sensitivity to changes in temperature, gated sensors, in the form of transistor, may be utilized, which also enables the multiplexed array of sensors .…”

Humans have a myriad of sensory receptors in different sense organs that form the five traditionally recognized senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. These receptors detect diverse stimuli originating from the world and turn them into brain‐interpretable electrical impulses for sensory cognitive processing, enabling us to communicate and socialize. Developments in biologically inspired electronics have led to the demonstration of a wide range of electronic sensors in all five traditional categories, with the potential to impact a broad spectrum of applications. Here, recent advances in bioinspired electronics that can function as potential artificial sensory systems, including prosthesis and humanoid robots are reviewed. The mechanisms and demonstrations in mimicking biological sensory systems are individually discussed and the remaining future challenges that must be solved for their versatile use are analyzed. Recent progress in bioinspired electronic sensors shows that the five traditional senses are successfully mimicked using novel electronic components and the performance regarding sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy have improved to levels that outperform human sensory organs. Finally, neural interfacing techniques for connecting artificial sensors to the brain are discussed.

Compared to the traditional motor‐driven prosthetic hand, a soft prosthetic hand (SPD) has intrisic advantages such as kinematics dexterity and friendly external interaction. In order for an SPD to realize the function of a real hand, the integration of flexible high‐performance tactile sensors is essential. Current research on flexible tactile sensors is mainly focused on increasing sensitivity, but ignores other issues, such as the complexity of arraying and compatibility with soft actuators. A high‐performance flexible force sensor enabling intelligent tactile perception for an SPD is reported. With the aid of reasonable arrangement of functional material and effective 3D structure design, the force sensor exhibits good linearity (R2 = 0.982), accuracy and repeatability, very low hysteresis, fast dynamical response (<1 ms), high stability (30000 loading–unloading cycles), stable performance under high frequency (>50 Hz), and can easily be arrayed and integrated with an SPD. With such a sensor mounted on its surface, an SPD achieves various complicated tasks in the same manner as a real hand, including feeling the softness of objects and imitating the process of traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis to monitor a pulse wave in the radial artery. Finally, through use of a force‐sensor array, an SPD provides real‐time spatial distribution of pressure during the grabbing of objects.
