Abstract

In article https://doi.org/10.1002/gch2.201900079, Jie Shang, Run‐Wei Li, and co‐workers report a wearable capacitive sensor that can monitor human physiological signals (pulse and respiratory) in the non‐contact mode. This is achieved by using asymmetrical ring/disk‐shaped conductive material and low‐dielectric porous material to enhance the capacitive coupling effect.
