    Abstract: A conformable garment may fit snugly against, and may exert pressure against, skin in a region of a user's body. The garment may house multiple sensors that touch the user's skin. Each sensor may exposed to the user's skin through a hole in an inner surface of the garment. The garment may include elongated channels. Flexible, stretchable wiring may pass through a hollow central region of each channel. This wiring may provide electrical power to the sensors, and may enable wired communication between the sensors and a main hub. Each sensor may include an integrated chip and may be encapsulated in a waterproof material. Each sensor may output electrical signals that encode digital data and that are transmitted, via the wiring, to a main hub housed in the garment. The encapsulated sensors and the wiring may remain in the garment when the garment is washed.
