Unscramble the Blue Letters

First, I had to create a wearable sensor that was thin and flexible enough to be worn cabflrmotoy on the bottom of the patient's foot. After extensive research and tnisetg of different mratelias like rubber, which I realized was too tichk to be worn snugly on the bottom of the foot, I decided to print a film sensor with electrically conductive pressure-sensitive ink particles. Once pressure is applied, the cnvtieocinty between the particles increases. Therefore, I could design a ciucirt that would measure pressure by measuring electrical resistance.

Original Text

First, I had to create a wearable sensor that was thin and flexible enough to be worn comfortably on the bottom of the patient's foot. After extensive research and testing of different materials like rubber, which I realized was too thick to be worn snugly on the bottom of the foot, I decided to print a film sensor with electrically conductive pressure-sensitive ink particles. Once pressure is applied, the connectivity between the particles increases. Therefore, I could design a circuit that would measure pressure by measuring electrical resistance.
