Desirable performance features of wearable PM sensors established as part of the Los Angeles PRISMS Center BREATHE informatics platform and pediatric asthma panel study (Habre, 2018).

Parameter	Selection Criteria

Accuracy and precision	As close as possible to equivalent FRM/FEM±15% or less
Interferences	Minimal
Data collection, storage, and retrieval	Internal storage, wireless, secure and real-time communication
Energy consumption	Minimal: Battery life ~8–12 h and/or simple charging requirements
Participant burden	Low: Low weight, low noise, unobtrusive form factor, “wearable”, flexible wear options
Durability, known performance	Consistent and proven performance, across microenvironments and mobility levels, low drift over time
