    Measuring blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) is crucial in a triage process for identifying patients with respiratory distress or shock, since low SpO2 levels indicate compromised hemostability and the need for priority treatment. This paper explores the use of wearable mechanical deflection sensors based on laser-induced graphene (LIG) for SpO2 estimation. The LIG sensors are attached to a subject’s chest for real-time monitoring of respiratory signals. We have developed a novel database of the respiratory signals, with corresponding SpO2 values ranging from 86% to 100%. The database is used to develop an artificial neural network model for SpO2 estimation. The neural network performance is promising, with regression metrics mean squared error = 0.184, mean absolute error = 0.301, root mean squared error = 0.429, and R-squared = 0.804. The use of mechanical respiration sensors in combination with neural networks in biosensing opens new possibilities for noninvasive SpO2 monitoring and other innovative applications.

    Graphene is a material that has been widely used in different types of sensors, due to its optimal electrical and mechanical properties. Recently discovered laser-induced graphene (LIG) has opened new perspectives for a versatile and durable physical sensing platform, capable of detecting various physical parameters. In this study, LIG was produced by CO2 laser irradiation of polyimide film. LIG-based sensor was used to measure human pulse. Fabricated LIG sensors were attached to a subject’s body. A temporal change in resistance was recorded for different sensor embodiments, including as-fabricated on polyimide tape and transferred into a PDMS matrix. The measured change in resistance is induced by bending of the sensor due to vein pulsing. The measured resistance time traces were analyzed with the Python HeartPy module to extract pulse information, demonstrating agreement with commercially available sensors.
