Abstract
This chapter discusses the use of strain sensors in wearable devices. Strain sensors are used to monitor deformation under applied load. Various techniques for the fabrication of strain sensors are discussed and some example applications are presented. Special focus is placed on textile based and inkjet-printed strain sensors. Textile based strain sensors open new frontiers for wearable systems by integrating sensors into garments which can be used for extended periods of time. Inkjet printing along with conductive inkjet inks provides low cost, efficient, and rapid prototyping solution for implementation of strain sensors in wearable devices. Applications in the area of remote monitoring of physiological signals, vital signs, and human activity are presented.
