Breath, Pulse, and Speech: A Multi-Parameter Wearable System using Airflow-Thermoelectric Fusion Technology.

ABSTRACT: In medical emergency scenarios, conventional single-parameter monitoring cannot fully assess patient conditions, and current technologies lack intelligent emergency-state recognition, which delays timely treatment. To overcome these challenges, this study develops a high-performance flexible thermoelectric textile-based wearable system that generates a 139.7 mV open-circuit voltage at ΔT = 30 K. To prevent skin-thermoelectric contact from distorting sensor readings, a Kirigami spacer is integrated to ensure proper air gaps while maintaining flexibility and breathability. By integrating optical cardiac sensing, the system establishes a thermoelectric-optical system for wireless real-time cooperative monitoring of both respiration and cardiac activity.
