Wearable sensors are susceptible to degradation from physical wear, moisture, and desiccation, which can result in signal attenuation and unreliable data. This pilot study, conducted in a controlled single-participant setting, introduces a framework to quantify and characterize sensor degradation while restoring corrupted electromyography (EMG) signals. Four types of sensors—polyethylene terephthalate film, parylene film, 3M bioelectrode pads, and microneedle patches—were affixed to the left forearm in a three-electrode EMG configuration. Impedance at 100 Hz was monitored as an indicator of sensor aging, while a one-dimensional convolutional autoencoder was employed to reconstruct degraded EMG signals using a loss function that incorporated both time-domain and frequency-domain error terms. The reconstruction loss showed a correlation with impedance changes, providing a practical metric for assessing sensor health. These findings highlight the feasibility of real-time signal recovery and its potential to extend the lifespan of sensors.
