摘要

Face masks are no longer just passive barriers against pathogens. By integrating flexible electronics, biosensors, and fluidic systems, they are becoming intelligent wearable platforms capable of continuous health monitoring. In a recent study published in Science, Gao et al. introduced “EBCare”, a wearable smart mask that achieves real-time in situ analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC). This work presents a comprehensive solution for on-body collection, transport, and detection of multiple breath-derived biomarkers using passive cooling, capillary-driven microfluidics, and multiplexed biosensing, establishing a versatile platform for respiratory diagnostics and personalized medicine.
