Zusammenfassung:The enclosed describes a sensor pad for wearing on a human body. The sensor pad is configured to be in contact with a substrate having a contoured surface, such as a surface of the body. The sensor pad comprises at least a sensor layer and a stiffener layer. The sensor layer comprises a surface area defining a sensing area configured to measure value at a plurality of locations of the sensing area. The stiffener layer is couples to the surface area of the sensor layer. The stiffener layer has a micro-cut pattern to reduce mechanical resistance of the stiffener layer. The micro-cut pattern facilitates the stiffener layer in stretching or compressing in one or more predefined directions, enabling the stiffener lay to conform to the contoured surface of the substrate.
