The Marsian smart clothing system enables noninvasive, real-time monitoring of physiological and autonomous nervous system activity during daily, sports, and driving activities.
Smart clothes like the Marsian system offer a user-friendly, noninvasive method for continuous real-time monitoring of physiological and emotional reactions during daily activities.
May aid real-world ANS monitoring; hypothesis-generating before clinical validation.
The world is becoming more and more "health conscious" and there is an important need for the improvement of the quality of health in medicine. Home care, ambulatory measurements, permanent monitoring are well convenient for this purpose. For a citizen use, these devices have to be user-friendly. Smart clothes and gloves fit well for a citizen use due to their main characteristics: They avoid and/or they simplify the setting of sensors and they enable normal and daily activities. Marsian is composed of four elements: a "smart tee shirt" (EKG, Rib cage and abdominal respiration measurement, core temperature, body heat flow), a "smart glove" (skin potential and conductance, skin temperature), a wrist device (amplification, wireless data transmission), a data logger (continuous recording). All the sensors are noninvasive. Marsian can be used for the measurement of the autonomous nervous system activity, which provides information upon the emotional, sensorial,, intellectual and task reactions. The methodology has been already used for the study of the driver's reactions in real conditions, for the study of smell, taste, touch and thermal comfort (heat and air velocity) reaction, for sport activities, for the optimization for movement's programming and mental imaging.

Axisa et al. (2004) studied Physiological and emotional monitoring. Marsian smart clothes system (smart tee shirt, smart glove, wrist device, data logger) was evaluated. The Marsian smart clothing system enables noninvasive, real-time monitoring of physiological and autonomous nervous system activity during daily, sports, and driving activities.
