Abstract: This technology is directed to modular wearable devices comprising interchangeable functional modules. The modular wearable device is re-configurable, reusable, and extensible comprising skin-conformable base substrates, reusable functional modules, and reusable wire modules. The functional modules are attachable and removable in a plug-and-play type construction. The functional modules may be preprogrammed and connected in unique sequences to achieve customized functions. The functional modules include power, sensor, modifier, and actuator modules that are interchangeable to customize the functionality of the modular wearable device. The functional modules are affixed to a wire module assembly, the wire module assembly providing the infrastructure for power and communications. The sensor module receives an input signal and transmits an output signal to the actuator module to initiate a response function. In certain embodiments, a modifier module may alter the output signal and transmit the altered output signal to the actuator module to initiate an altered response function.
