“…Another group integrated sensors in the fabric of a shirt and developed their prototype which contains dry ECG electrodes, shock / fall sensor, respiration sensor, temperature sensor, GPS receiver and wireless module [82]. The Wearable Health Care System (WEALTHY), developed by Paradiso et al, was based on wearable sensors, electrodes, and connections in fabric forms [83]. Piezoresistive fabric sensors were realized using lycra fabric coated with carbon-loaded rubber and commercial electroconductive yarn, while contact electrodes were fabricated with stain-less-steel-based yarns.…”

Abstract. Emergence of the Internet and widespread use of mobile computing have brought traditional eHealth beyond the boundary of the clinical setting, evolving to mHealth which is patient-centered and ubiquitous. Faced with the world's rapidly ageing population and its burden on the healthcare system, one of the intense areas of development in mHealth is continuous patient monitoring. It requires careful integration of wearable sensors and wireless body sensor networks. Unlike traditional ambulatory monitors, sensors for mHealth may appear in various forms, such as watches, jewelry, eyewear, and even smart garments. Recent work have focused on design for wearability, alternative sensing techniques, and mHealth-specific network topologies.

“…To avoid additional contact resistance and contact noise, the electrodes should be embroidered in one step together with the conductive wire layouts which lead to them [2]. According to standard Einthoven configuration, there are basically 3 woven electrodes positioned at left root arm, right root arm, and left lower rib respectively.…”

“…Meanwhile, the rest area of the shirt is made from nonconductive fabric which can function as insulator between each different conductor. In order to ensure the maximum stretchability of the threads, the conductor is designed into a zigzag layout [2]. We can also achieve this by stretching the shirt during the embroidery and encapsulation.…”

The number of diabetes keeps increasing for many years, which has become one of the world's leading causes of death. Besides, the greatest hazards of diabetes are constituted by its complications such as hypertension and cardiovascular problems. As the treatment to diabetes usually acquires for quite a long time, the daily healthcare of those patients is a costly work. In this paper, a development of Diabetics-oriented Tele-medical Information System (DTMIS) is introduced. This DTMIS provides users with comprehensive, convenient and timely health monitoring and medical service. DTMIS can realize the real-time telemedicine monitoring of a diabetic's physiological parameters. The system is a complex structure combining the use of wearable sensing shirt, Bluetooth technology and GSM networking. And we have implemented a physiological signal preprocessing method that can detect abnormal data and provides preliminary suggestions to patients here. In the end, itcan be concluded that the implementation of this platform system will provide a complete health condition monitoring and healthcare service.

This paper reports the development of a hexagon resistance model, based on the loop structure of a plain weft knitted fabric. This model is capable of describing the electromechanical properties of conductive knitted elastic fabrics. Based on the relationship between the resistance and the load on the fabric under biaxial extension, the equivalent resistance of the fabric was obtained by solving the circuit network equations. It was found that the circuit network is a multiple circuit parallel to the wale direction whereas it is in series along the course direction. And Holm's electrical contact theory is used to calculate the relationship between the contact resistance and the contact force in an elastic fabric sensor. The contact load and deformation between two knitting loops are calculated using the classical knitted fabric mechanics model of Kawabata and Popper.
