What are flexible and wearable sensors?

Flexible and wearable sensors are tiny smart helpers that can stick to your body or clothes and tell you about what’s happening around you.

Imagine wearing a super-smart bandage on your arm, it doesn’t hurt, and it can feel if you’re moving, stretching, or even if your heartbeat is getting faster. That's like having a magic detective on your skin who can read your body’s secrets without saying a word!

Think of flexible sensors as stretchy smart bracelets that can bend and twist with you, just like how your favorite pair of yoga pants moves when you do a cartwheel. These sensors are made from soft materials, so they don’t feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Wearable sensors are like tiny electronic skin you can wear on your wrist, chest, or even your shoe. They can measure things like temperature, motion, and pressure, just like how your skin helps you know if something is hot, cold, soft, or rough.

These smart helpers are used in games, sports, and even by doctors to help people feel better!
