With the global popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, increasingly numbers of digital mobile products have been developed, and they have increased the productivity of people’s daily lives. These electronic products are used in all aspects of life, such as medical care, office life, home services, and sports. However, most of these products are designed for healthy people with high literacy rates. For disabled people, these products cannot be widely used. In this paper, new, differently shaped touch sensors are proposed for body sensor network-based devices. This touch sensor can be formed into any shape because of the use of conductive fabric adhesive tape as a switch. That property is why the sensor can change positions in the body sensor network in which the human body is used as a trigger to safely activate the touch switch. The number of switch sensors can easily be increased or decreased without changing the wiring of the central controller. The number of sensors in a switch sensor system is greater than that in other touch switch systems, and the accuracy is higher.
