Abstract-This paper presents a novel design of wearable radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor patch make of conductive fabric and integrated on clothes. The wearable RFID with similar design is also implemented on a Polyimide (PI) substrate to show the effectiveness of the system. We also demonstrate the wearable and washable RFID patch by using conductive fabric coil antenna as well as non-conductive fabric substrate. The conductive fabric offers great flexibility and comfortability as it can be sewed into clothes and connect the components of the patch. As a proof of concept, we developed the conductive fabric based RFID for temperature sensing and demonstrate its use by measuring variations in the skin temperature. We observed that the proposed antenna is strain independent during bending. Further, it has the advantage of simplicity and is relatively free from issues such as degradation of performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
