Summary

This study tested a skin sensor that measures carbon dioxide (CO2) levels continuously during exercise, comparing it to standard blood tests. Researchers included 140 healthy volunteers and people with lung or heart conditions. The goal was to see if the sensor could accurately track changes in CO2, which helps doctors understand how well the lungs are working.
