Abstract

The disclosure provides an apparatus, system and method for a flexible heater suitable for embedding in a wearable. The flexible heater comprises a conformable substrate; a matched function ink set, printed onto at least one substantially planar face of the substrate to form at least a conductive layer capable of receiving current flow from at least one power source; a resistive layer electrically associated with the at least one conductive layer and comprising a plurality of heating elements capable of generating heat upon receipt of the current flow; and a dielectric layer capable of at least partially insulating the at least one resistive layer, wherein the matched ink set is matched to preclude detrimental interactions between the printed inks of each of the at least one conductive, resistive and dielectric layers, and to preclude detrimental interactions with the conformable substrate.
