Abstract
Wearable sensors have become part of our daily life for health monitoring. The detection of moisture content is critical for physical and health monitoring applications. In the present research, an embroidered sensor has been fabricated for the detection of moisture content. The sensor is comprised of an interdigitated electrode embroidered on a cotton substrate with silver-tech 150 and HC 12 threads, respectively, which are silver coated continuous filament and 100 % polyamide with silver plated yarn. The moisture sensor's operation is verified by measuring its impedance between (1-10) MHz and the change in moisture level (1-50) µl. At 1MHz, the comparison of the impedance change of dry sensors shows that the impedance of HC 12 is 25.5 percent less than that of the silver-tech 150 sensor. Also, sensitivity for moisture sensing showed that the silver-tech 150 sensor has a sensitivity of 444Ω/µl, while the HC 12 sensor has a sensitivity of 456Ω/µl. The repeatability test shows the stability of the sensor after washing and the sensor has detected artificial sweat and blood serum for future application of theranostic wound dressing.
