Cover Story: Remote patient monitoring enables improved care quality, patient autonomy, personalized treatment, and cost reduction. The evaluation of human well-being places crucial importance on respiratory parameters such as oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures. The transcutaneous monitoring of these gases overcomes the limitations of the reference technique, arterial blood gas analysis, which is intermittent and painful. It offers a non-invasive and potentially remote continuous monitoring solution, enabling the early detection of respiratory issues, as evidenced in COVID-19 patients. Recent research has focused on technologies for a wearable transcutaneous monitoring device including luminescence, electronic paramagnetic resonance, and photoacoustic sensors, with optical sensors emerging as the most promising option.
