Contactless EMG sensors embroidered onto textile

چکیده
To obtain maximum unobtrusiveness with sensors for monitoring health parameters on the human body, two technical solutions are combined. First we propose contactless sensors for capacitive electromyography measurements. Secondly, the sensors are integrated into textile, so complete fusion with a wearable garment is enabled. We are presenting the first successful measurements with such sensors. Keywords— surface electromyography, capacitive transducer, embroidery, textile electronics, interconnect

Colorful Textile Antennas Integrated into Embroidered Logos
We present a new methodology to create colorful textile antennas that can be embroidered within logos or other aesthetic shapes. Conductive threads (e-threads) have already been used in former embroidery unicolor approaches as attributed to the corresponding conductive material, viz. silver or copper. But so far, they have not been adapted to ‘print’ colorful textile antennas. For the first tim...

8 Abstract Even though it might be beneficial to have 9 continuous baseline data upfront, today’s hospitalized 10 patients are put on a vital signs monitor not earlier than 11 they become bed-ridden. The aim of this study is to show 12 the feasibility of a broader monitoring concept, embracing 13 many more subjects, by monitoring contactless vital signs 14 with sensors embedded in non-ICU setti...

Knowledge of an individual's skin condition is important for pressure ulcer prevention. Detecting early changes in skin through perfusion, oxygen saturation values, and pressure on tissue and subsequent therapeutic intervention could increase patients' quality of life drastically. However, most existing sensing options create additional risk of ulcer development due to further pressure on and c...

T he possibility of gathering reliable information about movement characteristics during activities of daily living holds particular appeal for researchers. Data such as this could be used to analyze the performance of individuals undergoing rehabilitation and to provide vital information on whether or not there is an improvement during a neurorehabilitation protocol. Wearable devices are parti...
متن کاملEmbroidered Electrode with Silver/Titanium Coating for Long-Term ECG Monitoring
For the long-time monitoring of electrocardiograms, electrodes must be skin-friendly and non-irritating, but in addition they must deliver leads without artifacts even if the skin is dry and the body is moving. Today's adhesive conducting gel electrodes are not suitable for such applications. We have developed an embroidered textile electrode from polyethylene terephthalate yarn which is plasma...
