Mechanical Compatibility in Stitch Configuration and Sensor Adhesion for High-Fidelity Pulse Wave Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Wearable electronics can achieve high-fidelity monitoring of pulse waveforms on the body surface enabling early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Textile-based wearable devices offer advantages in terms of high permeability and comfort. However, knitted strain sensors struggle to capture small-range deformation signals due to stress dissipation during friction and slip of yarns within the textiles. They are optimized for mechanical adaptability and adhesive capability. In this work, the stitch configurations of knitted structure are adjusted to optimize the energy dissipation ratio during deformation and waveform fitting performance. These electric-mechanical results enabled the selection of the most suitable knitted structure for the clinical diagnosis. On the other hand, the s
