Abstract:
The article is addressed to the development of flexible lightweight strain and pressure sensors capable of monitoring blood pulsing, breathing, and body movements. The prototypes of body sensing devices equipped with sensors based on all-organic highly tenzo-resistive bi layer films are described. The electrical resistance of the flexible sensors linearly and reversibly depends on deformation resulted from body movements. Sensors electrical responses suffice to measure very small pressure changes as well as delicate elongations in a wide deformation range.
