A Portable Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Real-Time Respiration Monitoring
Abstract As a reliable indicator of human physiological health, respiratory rate has been utilized in more and more cases for prediction and diagnosis of potential respiratory diseases and the respiratory dysfunction caused by cystic fibrosis. However, compared with smart mobile electronics, traditi...
