Cover Story: Wearables are new frontiers in health monitoring since they enable an unobtrusive monitoring of vital signs. Among others, the estimation of the heart (HR) and respiratory (RR) rates may be useful for underlining cardiorespiratory diseases. Here, we report the design, fabrication, and assessment of a skin-interfaced biosensor based on fiber Bragg grating technology to monitor RR and HR, simultaneously. The proposed solution’s small form-factor, single sensing modality, and high flexibility are its main distinctive features. A model simulation was carried out to prove the design effectiveness in maximizing strain along the grating. Then, a metrological characterization was performed to find out the biosensor sensitivity to strain and the influence of environmental quantities on its response. Finally, the system performances were assessed under three body postures and two breathing stages. View this paper
