#$%^&*AU2015275343B220180329.pdf#####UC10-380-2FP (UC-2010-380-2_FP-LA) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A handheld, conforming capacitive sensing apparatus configured to measure Sub-Epidermal Moisture (SEM) as a mean to detect and monitor the formation of pressure ulcers. The device incorporates an array of electrodes which are excited to 5 measure and scan SEM in a programmable and multiplexed manner by a batteryless RF-powered chip. The scanning operation is initiated by an interrogator which excites a coil embedded in the apparatus and provides the needed energy burst to support the scanning/reading operation. Each electrode measures the equivalent sub-epidermal capacitance corresponding and representing the moisture content.
