Sensing system for biometric measurements

Abstract

A system may include a wearable article to be worn by a user. For example, the wearable article may include a glove with digits having digit sections, or a sleeve to be worn on an arm or leg. A sensor array may be coupled to the wearable article. The sensor array may include sensors that are submillimeter in at least one in-plane dimension and are distributed at multiple locations of a sensing area of the wearable article. The system may also include a processor configured to: obtain a biometric measurement from the sensor array, the biometric measurement including a spatial map of sensed conditions from the sensors at the multiple locations; and generate an output based on comparing the spatial map to a baseline map of reference values corresponding to the multiple locations. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
