Abstract

We present multifunctional sensors based on highly stretchable silver nanowire conductors, which can be conformally attached to human skin for multimodal sensing. The wearable sensors were integrated with an interface circuit with wireless capability in the form of a chest patch. The capabilities of electrocardiography, strain/motion sensing and skin impedance sensing were demonstrated. Additionally, the impedance sensor with the interface circuit was packaged into a wrist watch for skin impedance monitoring.
