Key result
A designed smart ECG garment system using conductive textile electrodes and an FPCB-based processing module successfully obtained long-term ECG recordings with high signal quality.
A newly designed smart ECG garment using conductive textile electrodes and a flexible printed circuit board demonstrates feasibility for comfortable, continuous, high-quality ECG monitoring.
Does not yet support routine use; extends technical feasibility data for textile ECG systems.
A smart electrocardiogram (ECG) garment system was designed for continuous, non-invasive and comfortable ECG monitoring, which mainly consists of four components: Conductive textile electrode, garment, flexible printed circuit board (FPCB)-based ECG processing module and android application program. Conductive textile electrode and FPCB-based ECG processing module (6.8 g, 55 mm × 53 mm × 5 mm) are identified as two key techniques to improve the system's comfort and flexibility. Preliminary experimental results verified that the textile electrodes with circle shape, 40 mm size in diameter, and 5 mm thickness sponge are best suited for the long-term ECG monitoring application. The tests on the whole system confirmed that the designed smart garment can obtain long-term ECG recordings with high signal quality.
