Early screening of clinically relevant pathogens in the environment is a highly desirable goal in clinical care, providing precious information that will improve patient-care outcomes. In this work, a glove-based electrochemical sensor has been designed for point-of-use screening of Pseudomonas aeruginosa's virulence factors. The methodology used for the elaboration of the fabric platform relied on printing the conductive inks on the index and middle fingers of the glove, with the goal of screening pyocyanin and pyoverdine targets. The analytical signatures of the analytes were recorded in about 4 min, via the rapid and selective square-wave-voltammetry technique. Finger-based sensors display good performance and discrimination between the targets and potential interferences, along with good reproducibility. The sensors featured linearity over the 0.01-0.1 μM range for pyocyanin and 5-50 μM range for pyoverdine, with sensitivities of 2.51 μA/μM for pyocyanin and 1.09 nA/μM for pyoverdine ( R = 0.990 and 0.995, respectively) and detection limits of 3.33 nM for pyocyanin and 1.66 μM for pyoverdine. Moreover, the sensors were tested in binary mixtures of analytes, with successful outcomes. In order to gain information from the surrounding environment, the active electronic areas of the printed fingers were coated with a conductive hydrogel matrix, and relevant target surfaces were "swiped for notification" of contaminants. The simple fabrication, low-cost, and reusability of the proposed glove are likely to underpin the progressive drive of wearable sensors toward decentralized environmental and healthcare applications.

To date, although many studies had focused on the impact of environmental factors on sleep, how to choose the proper assessment method for objective sleep quality was often ignored, especially for healthy subjects in bedroom environment. In order to provide methodological guidance for future research, this paper reviewed the assessments of objective sleep quality applied in environmental researches, compared them from the perspective of accuracy and interference, and statistically analyzed the impact of experimental type and subjects' information on method selection. The review results showed that, in contrast to polysomnography (PSG), the accuracy of actigraphy (ACT), respiratory monitoring‐oxygen saturation monitoring (RM‐OSM), and electrocardiograph (ECG) could reach up to 97%, 80.38%, and 79.95%, respectively. In terms of sleep staging, PSG and ECG performed the best, ACT the second, and RM‐OSM the worst; as compared to single methods, mix methods were more accurate and better at sleep staging. PSG interfered with sleep a great deal, while ECG and ACT could be non‐contact, and thus, the least interference with sleep was present. The type of experiment significantly influenced the choice of assessment method (p < 0.001), 85.3% of researchers chose PSG in laboratory study while 82.5% ACT in field study; moreover, PSG was often used in a relatively small number of young subjects, while ACT had a wide applicable population. In general, researchers need to pay more attention at selection of assessments in future studies, and this review can be used as a reliable reference for experimental design.

“…One that is focused on physical sensors that react to physical changes in their environment, for example, electric fields, pressure, temperature, and movement. These can be used to detect body movements, changes in thoracic volume during breathing, but also electric signals from the body, such as electrocardiography (ECG) from the heart and electromyography (EMG) from skeletal muscles [149]. The second group is focused on biosensors that incorporate a biological recognition element into their operation (for example, enzyme, antibody, cell receptor, or organelle) and are an emerging field in the area of wearable sensors.…”

Recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world dramatically, posing profound challenges to our healthcare infrastructure, economic systems, social and cultural life but also to our freedom. What this pandemic made us realize so far, is that, despite the tremendous advances in medicine and pharmacy, in the initial moments, which are crucial in the containment of spreading of any pandemic, the key role is played by the non-pharmaceutical measures. These measures are the ones that bridge the time between pandemic outbreaks and the development of drugs or vaccines and are crucial for the number of human lives spared. Smart textiles and novel materials as part of the personal protective equipment (PPE) and telemedicine are crucial factors in the healthcare system. Here, we present an overview on the use of textiles in the fight against pandemics, in the past and current COVID-19, we analyze the morphology of the commonly used face masks, made of cotton and typically used polypropylene (PP). We also present the perspective that smart textiles, wearable technologies and novel materials are offering in the fight against future pandemics, mainly as part of the personal protective equipment and telemedicine.
