“…For the humidity detection, the graphene‐based materials including pristine graphene, GO, and rGO with large surface area and excellent flexibility are desirable candidates as wearable electronics for respiration monitoring. Pang et al have used GO, poly(3,4‐ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS), and Ag colloids (AC) to modify the porous graphene networks surface as humidity sensors .…”

Recently, advancement in materials production, device fabrication, and flexi ble circuit has led to the huge prosperity of wearable electronics for human healthcare monitoring and medical diagnosis. Particularly, with the emergence of 2D materials many merits including light weight, high stretchability, excellent biocompatibility, and high performance are used for those potential applications. Thus, it is urgent to review the wearable electronics based on 2D materials for the detection of various human signals. In this work, the typical graphene-based materials, transition-metal dichalcogenides, and transition metal carbides or carbonitrides used for the wearable electronics are discussed. To well understand the human physiological information, it is divided into two dominated categories, namely, the human physical and the human chemical signals. The monitoring of body temperature, electrograms, subtle signals, and limb motions is described for the physical signals while the detection of body fluid including sweat, breathing gas, and saliva is reviewed for the chemical signals. Recent progress and development toward those specific utilizations are highlighted in the Review with the representative examples. The future outlook of wearable healthcare techniques is briefly discussed for their commercialization. Wearable Electronics

“…In this way, an operator with arms' length longer than 60 cm [20] could monitor a third-person facemask's status while keeping a safety droplet-free distance of at least 1 m [1]. Moreover, as previously demonstrated in [10], this arrangement will be fully compliant with specific absorption rate regulations.…”

“…The price to pay for sensing is a degradation of the read range as humidity and moisture increase. A different approach considers instead a dedicated external sensor connected to the tag [10]. Although the communication performance is preserved, this solution involves higher complexity and cost, making the application into a cheap FFR rather impractical.…”

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the use of filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) is increasingly widespread. Since the masks' wetness can reduce its filtering capabilities, the World Health Organization advises to replace the FFRs if they become too damp, but currently, there is no practical way to monitor the masks' wetness. A low-cost moisture sensor placed inside the FFRs could discriminate a slightly damp mask from a wet one, which must be replaced. In this letter, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag exploiting an auto-tuning microchip for humidity sensing is designed and tested during an ordinary working day and a physical exercise. The tag returns about 1 unit of the digital metric every 3 mg of water generated by breathing and sweating, and it can identify excessively wet masks from commonly used ones.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensors, integrating the features of Wireless Information and Power Transfer (WIPT), object identification and energy efficient sensing capabilities, have been considered a new paradigm of sensing and communication for the futuristic information systems. RFID sensor tags featuring contactless sensing, wireless information transfer, wireless powered, light weight, non-line-of-sight transmission, flexible and pasteable are a critical enabling technology for future Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture and food. They have attracted numerous research efforts due to their innovative potential in the various application fields. However, there has been a gap between the in-lab investigations and the practical IoT application scenarios, which has motivated this survey of this research to identify the promising enabling techniques and the underlying challenges. This study aims to provide an exhaustive review on the state-of-art RFID sensor technologies from the system implementation perspective by focusing on the fundamental RF energy harvesting theories, the recent technical progresses and commercial solutions, innovative applications and some RFID sensor based IoT solutions, identify the underlying technological challenges at the time being, and give the future research trends and promising application fields in the rich sensing applications of the forthcoming IoT era.
