Illustration of (a) spatiotemporal sensor mapping of the body with temperature and accelerometer (heart beat and respiration), (b) textile channel for embedding flexible-stretchable electronic strips, and (c) exploded view of a sensor island. A photograph of final E-TeCS prototype (d) showing its conformability to the wearer (scale bar: 10 cm), (e) bare flexible-stretchable electronic strip (right) and woven electronic strip in a knit textile (left) (scale bar: 1 cm). Microscopy image of a (f) temperature (left), accelerometer (right, scale bar: 3 mm), and (g) interconnect modules (scale bar: 2 mm), and (h) cross-sectional view of an E-TeCS module embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer (scale bar: 2 mm).
