Abstract

Respiration is a major vital sign, which can be used for early illness diagnosis and physiological monitoring. Wearable respiratory sensors present an exciting opportunity to monitor human respiratory behaviors in a real-time, noninvasive, and comfortable way. Among them, fiber-shaped triboelectric nanogenerators (FS-TENGs) are attractive for their comfort and high degree of freedom. However, the single-electrode FS-TENGs cannot respond to their own tensile strains, and the coaxial double-electrode FS-TENGs show low sensitivity to strain due to structural limitations. Here, a type of helical fiber strain sensor (HFSS) is developed, which can respond to tiny tensile strains. In addition, a smart wearable…
