May enable ambulatory vital sign monitoring on kinesiology tape; leaves open clinical validation trials.
This work presents a vital sign monitoring interface combining electrocardiogram (ECG) and reflective photoplethysmography (PPG) acquisition on stretchable kinesiology tapes (KTs). The integrated textile bands are less prone to electrode misplacement and deliver high-quality diagnostic ECG signals with dry electrodes. The reflective PPG measured over the subclavian artery is used to track blood oxygen saturation, and in combination with ECG, enables the determination of pulse transit time and inference of blood pressure. This multimodal interface improves clinical workflows because it is easy to don, reduces motion artifacts, and facilitates more efficient and accurate diagnosis in emergency settings.
