Abstract:
1. A pressure measurement device, said pressure measurement device comprising: a substrate having at least one fluid-conductive channel therein, each channel of the at least one channel having a first aperture at a first end thereof and a second aperture at a second end thereof; and at least one pressure sensing module, each of the at least one pressure sensing module being operatively connected to a corresponding second aperture; wherein said substrate is flexible such that said pressure measurement device is conformably adjustable onto an object's surface; and wherein each first aperture and each second aperture of each channel of said at least one channel are located on a surface of said substrate such that when said substrate is suitably adjusted onto the object's surface, each aperture of said at least one first aperture is open to the exterior of said object's surface, and each channel corresponding to each open first aperture is structured and arranged so that a pressure sensing module disposed at the second end thereof is substantially subjected to pressure at said open first aperture.
