Claim:
1. A platform unit for detecting a parameter selected from the group consisting of pressure, temperature, humidity and a combination thereof, the platform unit comprising at least three sensors comprising metallic nanoparticles capped with an organic coating, wherein the three sensors comprise: a pressure sensor being deposited on a substantially flexible substrate, wherein the pressure sensor is configured to sense pressure applied thereon and to generate an electrical signal in response thereto, a temperature sensor configured to exhibit a change in conformation of the metallic nanoparticles capped with an organic coating in response to a change in temperature and generate an electrical signal in response thereto, and a humidity sensor configured to exhibit a change in conformation of the metallic nanoparticles capped with an organic coating in response to a change in humidity and generate an electrical signal in response thereto, thereby providing the detection of pressure, temperature, humidity or their combination.
