1. A sensor device for measuring properties and/or conditions of one or more fluid substances contained, or streamed, inside a fluid vessel, the sensor device comprising:
at least one sensing element comprising a deformable element having at least one transducer element formed therein or thereon;
a main body portion having a cavity and said at least one sensing element operatively mounted inside said cavity for measuring the properties and/or conditions of said one or more fluid substances and generating data/signals indicative thereof; and
one or more electrical conductors formed on and/or in said deformable element for electrically connecting to said at least one transducer element;
an attachment portion having at least one fluid passage, said attachment portion configured to establish fluid communication between a cavity or lumen of said fluid vessel and the cavity of said main body portion through said at least one fluid passage, to thereby enable said one or more fluid substances to interact with said at least one sensing element upon attachment of said sensor device to said fluid vessel,
wherein said at least one transducer element and at least one of the electrical conductors electrically connecting thereto are formed on and/or in an integrated multilayered foil or film.
