Patent ID: 8536667

Claim:
An apparatus for detecting and measuring aspects of a tissue of a subject's body, comprising: a. a stretchable substrate; b. stretchable circuitry disposed on said stretchable substrate, said stretchable circuitry comprising: (i) a first array of sensing devices comprising contact sensors to generate data indicating that one or more sensors of said first array of sensing devices is in contact with said tissue and to generate data indicative of an area of said contact; (ii) a second array of sensing devices to detect data indicative of a parameter of said tissue; and (iii) a plurality of stretchable interconnects to electrically interconnect at least some of the sensing devices of the first array of sensing devices or at least some of the sensing devices of the second array of sensing devices; and c. a processing facility in electronic communication with said stretchable circuitry, wherein the processing facility receives data indicative of said area of said contact and activates one or more sensing devices of said second array of sensing devices that correspond to said area of said contact.
