Abstract:
This paper explores the feasibility of using wearable laser-induced graphene (LIG) sensors to estimate oxygen saturation (SpO2) as an alternative to traditional photoplethysmography (PPG) oximeters, particularly in mass casualty triage scenarios. Positioned on the chest, the LIG sensor continuously monitors respiratory signals in real-time. The study leverages deep neural network (DNN) trained on PPG signals to process LIG respiratory signals, revealing promising results. Key performance metrics include a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.152, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.13, a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.23, and an R2 score of 0.68. This innovative approach, combining PPG and respiratory signals from graphene, offers a potential solution for 2D sensors in emergency situations, enhancing the monitoring and management of various medical conditions. However, further investigation is required to establish the clinical applications and correlations between these signals. This stud
y marks a significant step toward advancing wearable sensor technology for critical healthcare scenarios.
