Conductive organohydrogels-based flexible pressure sensors have gained considerable attention in health monitoring, artificial skin, and human-computer interaction due to their excellent biocompatibility, wearability, and versatility. However, hydrogels’ unsatisfactory mechanical and unstable electrical properties hinder their comprehensive application. Herein, an elastic, fatigue-resistant, and antifreezing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/lipoic acid (LA) organohydrogel with a double-network structure and reversible cross-linking interactions has been designed, and MXene as a conductive filler is functionalized into organohydrogel to further enhance the diverse sensing performance of flexible pressure sensors. The as-fabricated MXene-based PVA/LA organohydrogels (PLBM) exhibit stable fatigue resistance for over 450 cycles under 40% compressive strain, excellent elasticity, antifreezing properties (<−20 °C), and degradability. Furthermore, the pressure sensors based on the PLBM organohydrogels show a fast response time (62 ms), high sensitivity ( S = 0.0402 kPa –1 ), and excellent stability (over 1000 cycles). The exceptional performance enables the sensors to monitor human movements, such as joint flexion and throat swallowing. Moreover, the sensors integrating with the one-dimensional convolutional neural networks and the long–short-term memory networks deep learning algorithms have been developed to recognize letters with a 93.75% accuracy, representing enormous potential in monitoring human motion and human-computer interaction.
