Abstract
AbstractSarcopenia recognition is very crucial in the early diagnosis of sarcopenia. However, the commonly used screening methods are limited by real‐time property, portability, and convenient usability at home. Herein, an electrospun BaTiO3 film is proposed and a piezoelectric sensor with silver electrodes and polyimide substrates is fabricated. The sensor exhibits high piezoelectricity (74.2 pC N−1), sensitivity, linearity, low detection limit (0.2 mN), and significant bending ability (bending angle can exceed 90°), maintaining stable output after more than 20 000 cycles during a week. Due to its excellent performance, the piezoelectric sensor to the recognition of sarcopenia is applied and a wearable system to collect piezoelectric signals from the lower limb movements of the elderly is developed. By selecting features from these signals, eight kinds of machine learning models are employed and their performances in recognizing sarcopenia are compared in both male and female groups. The results indicate that the artificial neural network (ANN) model has the highest performance, with accuracies of 92.9% in males and 98.1% in females. This piezoelectric sensor, combined with a wireless communication module, is expected to provide crucial evidence for sarcopenia detection, offering a new, convenient, and household screening solution for early diagnosis and prevention of sarcopenia.
