Abstract:
This article describes the design of a sensor vest and its corresponding measuring and transfering system which can be used for ECG and respiration monitoring in mobile and noninvasive conditions. The electric conduction textile is sutured in the inside of the vest in its specific position to be detecting electrodes, which are connected to the vest edge. The signal is then connected to the measuring and transferring system. in which the microcontroller and circuits monitor the ECG, heart rate and respiration data. The data are transmitted through the serial communication to a PC, and then are received and displayed with Visual Basic program.
