A scalable, and tunable braided yarn for micro and macro physiological sensing.

ABSTRACT: Future wearables envision a fully integrated sensing system capable of monitoring vital signs and biomechanics in daily environments. Currently, achieving a balance between imperceptible sensing and seamless integration poses a significant challenge to developing durable and personalized wearable solutions. In this article, we report an ultra-thin, miniaturized, capacitive braided composite yarn (CBCY) that is scalable and tunable for both micro and macro sensing applications. By leveraging advanced braiding and winding techniques, we created a sensor that is conformable, robust, and can be seamlessly integrated into the flexible surface. To elucidate the sensor, we characterized its capabilities and provided comprehensive guidelines for diverse use cases. Additionally, to evaluate the sen
