When working with embedded components, like FlexiForce™ sensors, there are six core phases to sensor integration that serve as checkpoints en route to finalization:

1. Sensor Characterization
2. Proof-of-Concept
3. Prototyping
4. Field Testing
5. Final Embedded Device, and
6. Transfer to Production

This eBook shares a technical design story of an engineering team that utilized FlexiForce sensors as an embedded component to measure relative force feedback in a smart, wearable medical device. These pages address important decisions the team faced in all 6 of these critical design phases, sharing examples of how they leveraged useful off-the-shelf kits and resources to make their design process as efficient as possible.
