1. A method of fabricating a sensor for static and dynamic body measurements, comprising:
providing a first layer serving as a flexible support material;
disposing a second layer on the first layer, the second layer serving as a [ first ] sensing material [ that is electrically conductive throughout the second layer] ;
disposing a third layer on the second layer, the third layer comprising an insulating material;
coupling the second layer and the third layer using a first electrode comprising a first conductive thread and a first non-conductive thread, the first conductive thread embedded in the second layer, wherein the first conductive thread and the first non-conductive thread are used together in a spool, sewing needle, top thread, bobbin, and/or combinations thereof to form the first electrode; and
coupling the first layer and the second layer using a second [ first ] electrode comprising a second [ first ] conductive thread and a second [ first ] non-conductive thread , the second conductive thread embedded in the second layer, wherein the second conductive thread and the second non-conductive thread are used together in a spool, sewing needle, top thread, bobbin, and/or combinations thereof to form the second electrode [ by penetrating the first layer or the second layer with one or both of the first conductive thread and the first non-conductive thread using one or more of a spool, sewing needle, top thread, or bobbin] .
