SIMULATION OF INTERDIGITAL CAPACITIVE SKIN MOISTURE CONTENT SENSOR FOR HYPERHIDROSIS DIAGNOSTICS

Abstract

The electrical capacitance and corresponding moisture content of cotton sample used as a sweat absorption container were investigated. Dependencies of interdigital sensor electrical capacitance from relative moisture content of fabric sample under investigation placed upon the sensor were plotted as the result of simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics software suite and experiments. The resulting dependence of the study allows the implementation of the human skin moisture content sensor for hyperhidrosis diagnostics.
