摘要：
A contact sensor and system for incorporation within clothing and other wearable items to monitor activity at a body surface. Various prior art sensor devices, systems and methods for smart wearable items have been proposed but have limitations such as the need to be comfortable, low cost and washable. There have also being problems with attaching directly to the skin or to garments. The contact sensor of the present invention seeks to solve at least some of these problem by including a contact membrane having a body surface contacting area and one or more base layers of knitted fabric. The base layer(s) is thicker over an area congruent with the body surface contacting area of the contact membrane. As a result, the contact membrane is urged into the forming of a raised outer surface for projection against a body surface.
