Abstract
Efficient treatment of pressure ulcers require early detection and this has prompted many studies in the development of sensitive interface pressure measurements systems. In this paper we investigate a new strategy based on gold/PDMS stretchable conductors, focusing mostly on issues associated with the preparation and analysis of the required thin films.
