Development of Flexible Smart Fabric Sensor for Wearable Electrocardiogram
Abstract
Smart electronic
textiles which represent a new model for generating novel solutions for
integrating electronics into fabrics or garments able to sense outer conditions
or stimuli, reply and adapt behaviour to them in an intelligent way and exhibit
a challenge in several fields such as health, sport, automotive and aerospace.
Intelligent textiles may show health monitoring systems that greatly benefit
from the integration of electronics in textile materials.The main purpose of
electronic textiles is to become a part of everyday garments. Equipping the
ready-made clothing with soft, flexible and comfortable structural components
having different functions such as transforming into a structure with sensing
properties makes it the most appropriate environment for the emergence of smart
/ electronic textiles. In this study, a flexible smart fabric sensor was
developed and a smart garment was produced to detect the electrical activity of
a human heart for electrocardiogram monitoring (ECG). The smart garment that
displays heartbeats offers a different perpective for wearable electronic
textiles that incorporate textile-based sensors instead of external electrodes
connected to the body.
