可连接到任何用户提供的口罩内部的符合要求的传感接口，可用于监测与传染病、环境条件和口罩佩戴状态有关的信号。口罩用于减少病毒和其他环境危害（如空气污染）的暴露，将可穿戴电子设备集成到口罩中可以为个人和公共卫生提供有价值的见解。然而，相关的可穿戴设备通常只用于监测呼吸模式等生物信息，而不提供有关口罩状态的信息。在这里，我们报告了一种可连接到任何用户提供的口罩内部的可调谐传感接口，用于监测与传染病、环境条件和口罩佩戴状态相关的信号。感应式口罩的多模态信号通过定制的移动应用程序无线传输到服务器。系统可以同时监测多种信号，包括皮肤温度、湿度、语言活动、呼吸模式和口罩的适合状态。我们还开发了一种机器学习算法，可用于可靠地解码面罩位置。
A conformable sensory interface that can be attached to the inside of any user-supplied face mask can be used to monitor signals related to infectious diseases, environmental conditions and wear status of the face mask.Face masks are used to reduce exposure to viruses and other environmental hazards such as air pollution, and integrating wearable electronics into face masks could provide valuable insights into personal and public health. However, relevant wearable devices are typically designed only to monitor biological information such as breathing patterns, and do not provide information about the status of the face mask. Here we report a conformable sensory interface that can be attached to the inside of any user-supplied face mask and used to monitor signals related to infectious diseases, environmental conditions and wear status of the face mask. Multimodal signals from the sensory face mask are wirelessly transmitted to a server through a custom-made mobile app. The system can simultaneously monitor multiple signals, including skin temperature, humidity, verbal activity, breathing pattern and fit status of the face mask. We also develop a machine learning algorithm that can be used to reliably decode the face mask position.
