A system was designed on flexible substrates to measure two of the most important physiological parameters in human life: breathing rhythm and ECG. A promising feature is the adoption of accelerometers to quantify the breathing cycle. The realised designs were placed on a T-shirt and tested on adults, keeping in mind the parameter variability when used with infants. Data is sent to a computer wirelessly for analysis. Future work includes the integration of the system with an earlier developed wireless battery charger, to ultimately create a textile integrated, fully silicone embedded, infant monitoring system for all vital functions.
