Abstract：
Since its outbreak in 2019, COVID-19 becomes a pandemic, severely burdening the public healthcare systems and causing an economic burden. Thus, societies around the world are prioritizing a return to normal. However, fighting the recession could rekindle the pandemic owing to the lightning-fast transmission rate of SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, many of those who are infected remain asymptomatic for several days, leading to the increased possibility of unintended transmission of the virus. Thus, developing rigorous and universal testing technologies to continuously detect COVID-19 for entire populations remains a critical challenge that needs to be overcome. Wearable respiratory sensors can monitor biomechanical signals such as the abnormities in respiratory rate and cough frequency caused by COVID-19, as well as biochemical signals such as viral biomarkers from exhaled breaths. The point-of-care system enabled by advanced respiratory sensors is expected to promote better control of the pandemic by providing an accessible, continuous, widespread, noninvasive, and reliable solution for COVID-19 diagnosis, monitoring, and management.
摘要：
自2019年爆发以来，COVID-19成为一种流行病，给公共医疗系统带来沉重负担，造成经济负担。因此，世界各地的社会都在优先考虑恢复正常。然而,由于SARS-CoV-2的快速传播率，与经济衰退作斗争可能会重燃大流行。此外，许多感染者几天没有症状，导致病毒意外传播的可能性增加。因此，开发严格和通用的检测技术来持续检测整个人群的COVID-19仍然是一个需要克服的关键挑战。可穿戴呼吸传感器可以监测生物力学信号，如COVID-19引起的呼吸频率和咳嗽频率的异常，以及生化信号，如呼出呼吸的病毒生物标志物。由先进的呼吸传感器启用的现场护理系统有望通过提供可访问的，连续,广泛，非侵入性，和COVID-19诊断的可靠解决方案，监测,和管理。
