“…Respiration, another vital signal, was also presented in Figure j, allowing for the real‐time monitoring of respiration rate and depth in relaxation and after exercise. This could be exploited as early warning systems for sudden infant death syndrome and sleep apnea in adults. More interestingly, the sensor on the chest was able to discriminate the turning over and trembling of the wearer from the normal respiration signal based on the magnitude of the signal peaks (Figure k and Movie S2, Supporting Information), thus achieving the goal of sleep quality evaluation to some extent.…”

Wearable sensors are increasingly finding their way into applications of kinesthetic sensing, personal health monitoring, and smart prosthetics/robotics. A graphene-based composite fiber sensor with a "compression spring" structure is fabricated, featuring the ability of detecting multiple kinds of deformation. This fiber sensor is integrated into wearable sensors for monitoring human activities and intricate movements of robotics successfully.

“…[ 97 ] Thus, the wearable sensor could be useful in examining breath for the early detection of sudden infant death syndrome. [ 98 ] Moreover, the sensor also showed high accuracy in detecting vocal cord vibration during the repetitive action of coughing. Thus, the wearable sensor can also be used to examine a patient's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and damaged vocal cords, including chronic bronchitis and asthma, by evaluating the output signals of coughing action.…”

Recent progress in flexible sensors and piezoelectric materials has enabled the development of continuous monitoring systems for human physiological signals as wearable and implantable medical devices. However, their non‐degradable characteristics also lead to the generation of a significant amount of non‐decomposable electronic waste (e‐waste) and necessitate a secondary surgery for implant removal. Herein, a flexible and biodegradable piezoelectric material for wearable and implantable devices that addresses the problem of secondary surgery and e‐waste while providing a high‐performance platform for continuous and seamless monitoring of human physiological signals and tactile stimuli is provided. The novel composition of bioresorbable poly(l‐lactide) and glycine leads to flexible piezoelectric devices for non‐invasive measurement of artery pulse signals in near‐surface arteries and slight movement of the muscle, including the trachea, esophagus, and movements of joints. The complete degradability of piezoelectric film in phosphate‐buffered saline at 37 °C is also shown. The developed pressure sensor exhibits high sensitivity of 13.2 mV kPa−1 with a response time of 10 ms and shows good mechanical stability. This piezoelectric material has comparable performance to commonly used non‐degradable piezoelectric materials for measuring physiological signals. It can also be used in temporary implantable medical devices for monitoring due to its degradable nature.

We recommended avoidance of the prone sleeping position for infants in the first 6 months of life unless there is a specific medical indication for it. Reports from the Netherlands, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand indicate that avoiding the prone position for infants in the first 6 months of life could reduce the number of SIDS deaths by as much as 50%. Unfortunately, these findings have received little attention in North America. We offer here an analysis of these reports so that physicians can assess the evidence and advise parents accordingly.
