1.INTRODUCTION: New applications in the field of so-called smart textiles for health monitoring are having a high demand of new techniques to successfully miniaturize and embed electronics, optics and sensors into fabrics and garments. The benefit of close to the body measurements are numerous e.g. enhanced comfort and ease of movement for the wearer, reduction of loose connecting wires between sensors, electronic circuits and energy sources. Textile integrated sensors could measure a large variety of variables, e.g. physical dimensions like pressure, stress and strain applied to the textile or biomedical dimensions such as heart rate, electrocardiogram (ECG), sweat rate and sweat composition(salts, pH), respiration rate or. arterial oxygenation (SpO2) of the monitored subjectMost of these sensors are based on microelectronic devices or conductive polymers which are integrated into the fabric structure, or are part of the fibrous structure themselves. Optical fibers made of polymeric materials have the advantage of high flexibility and low stiffness compared to glass fibers, therefore they are receiving more and more attention in the field of smart textiles and will complement electrical wires and sensors in the near future. 2.ECG MEASUREMENT: Find the cause of unexplained chest pain, which .. more»
