The first step is to print a stretchable conductive ink. As the researchers explain:

As the printed ink is stretched, its electrical resistivity increases. Next, surface mounted electrical components are digitally pick-and-placed in precise locations.

The final results are soft electronics that move with the body. The approach could lead to more sophisticated soft wearable devices for fitness and other applications.
