Rapid and precise detection of these arrhythmias is crucial for their termination by closed-looped therapeutic interventions to counteract detrimental effects. However, there is a current lack of such systems tailored for experimental cardiovascular applications. This hampers not only in-depth mechanistic studies but also translational testing of new therapeutic strategies, especially in an untethered manner in awake animal models. To break new ground, recent advances to develop a non-invasive AI-supported heart rhythm monitoring system for untethered automated arrhythmia detection in a continuous manner is combined. This system is housed in a lightweight jacket for mobile use and includes an on-skin ECG sensor, a low-power microprocessor unit, a massive data storage unit, and a power-management system. By implementing a novel hybrid algorithm based on so-called heart rate (R-R) variability and a case-specific AI model, 100% sensitivity and 95% specificity is achieved in detecting atrial arrhythmias within 2 s upon initiation in adult rats. Thereby, the novel system sets the stage for advanced mechanistic studies and therapeutic testing, including closed-loop applications aiming for the termination of a broad range of atrial arrhythmias.</p>","PeriodicalId":100037,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Sensor Research","volume":"3 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adsr.202400057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142642534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, aluminum ferrite (AlFeO<sub>3</sub>)/PVDF hybrid perovskite electrospun nanofiber-based tribo-enhanced piezoelectric nanogenerators (TPENGs) are developed for energy harvesting. The as-fabricated TPENG achieves an average voltage output of 52.3 V and an average current output of 1.23 µA. Additionally, the power density of the TPENG is calculated to be 0.085 W.m<sup>−2</sup> at an 80 MΩ external resistance load. A 3D-printed device is fabricated, containing nylon fabric (tribo-positive) as a rotor attached to printed fins, while six (AlFeO<sub>3</sub>)/PVDF hybrid perovskite electrospun nanofiber piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) wrapped with Kapton tape (tribo-negative) serve as the stator. The three printed fins of the device are moved by a string-based pulley, generating an open circuit voltage of 200 V and a short circuit current of 4.5 µA. The as-fabricated 3D-printed device with TPENGs is used to power small electronics (e.g., LEDs and watch) and an exercise setup, allowing patients to generate power by pulling the attached string, thereby estimating the level of impairment.
