摘要:
An wearable communications garment that includes one or more user-selectable inputs integrated into the garment. A sartorial communications apparatus may include a flexible material that is worn (e.g., as an undergarment) by the user and includes one or more interactive sensors that may be manually activated by a user, even through one or more intervening layers of clothing. The apparatus may also include one or more additional body sensors configured to sense a user's position, movement, and/or physiological status. The sensor(s) may be connected via a conductive trace on the garment to a sensor module for analysis and/or transmission. Methods of manufacturing the garments as well as methods of using the garments are also described.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bekleidung (10) in Form eines Multisensordresses mit mehreren Sensoranordnungen (22a, 22b), insbesondere zum Erfassen von Körperhaltungen und/oder Bewegungen eines Benutzers der Bekleidung (10). Jede Sensoranordnung (22a, 22b) weist mindestens einen Sensor, insbesondere in Form einer inertial movement unit, auf. Die Sensoranordnungen (22a, 22b) sind, insbesondere zueinander parallel geschaltet, über zumindest eine Busleitung (24a, 24b) mit einer Datensammeleinheit (28) verbunden. Die Busleitung/en (24a, 24b) kann/können jeweils einen Trägerstreifen (26a) aus Stoff aufweisen. Die elektrische Verbindung der Sensoranordnungen (22a, 22b) mit der jeweiligen Busleitung (24a, 24b) erfolgt bevorzugt durch rein mechanisches Anpressen der Sensoranordnungen (22a, 22b) auf die Busleitung (24a, 24b). Hierzu wird vorzugsweise ein Band und/oder eine Tasche eingesetzt. Die Datensammeleinheit (28) weist bevorzugt ein Speichermittel und/oder ein Übertragungsmittel für die von den Sensoranordnungen (22a, 22b) gemessenen Daten, aber keine Auswerteeinheit für diese Daten auf.

The invention relates to a system, method and corresponding computer program for unobtrusively determining a fertile window. In particular, it relates to a wearable system such as integrated in a bra for supporting personalized prediction of the fertile window for a planned parent-hood purpose. The system (1) comprises a contact sensor unit (10) for providing a signal in contact with the woman, wherein the signal is indicative of respiration of the woman, and a processing unit (20) for processing the signal to obtain a parameter indicative of respiration, wherein the processing unit (20) is configured to determine the fertile window of the woman based on a change in the obtained parameter. The system (1) allows a reliable unobtrusive determination of a fertile window of a women.

摘要:
A system includes a garment and a sensor module. The garment includes an engagement feature. The garment is configured to encompass a first location on a body. The engagement feature is positioned in fixed alignment with the garment. The sensor module includes a sensor housing and includes a sensor having an electrical node. The sensor is configured to provide an electrical output on the node. The housing has a complementary feature. The complementary feature is configured to couple and decouple with the engagement feature. The electrical output is based on a measure of a physiological parameter associated with the body and is based on site information corresponding to the engagement feature.

A combined sensor adapted to measure at least one medical or clinical sign is provided. The combined sensor comprises a textile sensor configured so as to determine pressure applied to the combined sensor; and an optical sensor. The optical sensor typically comprises at least one fibre- optic sensor (FOS) and may function as a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, optionally a reflectance mode photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor. The combined sensor is able to eliminate motion artefacts caused by movement of a subject wearing the sensor thereby facilitating long-term ambulatory monitoring of subjects.

A method and apparatus (100) for compensating and calibrating a bio-impedance measurement device are provided. In the method and apparatus, a memory (137) stores a plurality of compensation parameters and a first detection channel (114) receives a first detection signal, compensates the first detection signal using a first compensation parameter of the plurality of compensation parameters. In the method and apparatus, a second detection channel (116) receives a second detection signal and a third detection signal and compensates the second and third detection signals using second and third compensation parameters of the plurality of compensation parameters and the compensated first detection signal. The impedance measurement device generates a first output signal representative of a first impedance measurement and a second output signal representative of a second impedance measurement based on the compensated first, second and third detection signals.

A cardiac potential detection device for detecting R-waves from an electrocardiographic waveform includes a plurality of electrodes, a detector, and a control unit. The detector detects an input voltage applied from the electrodes. The control unit identifies an R-wave based on the input voltage detected by the detector, but suspends identifying R-waves in a detection-suspension period including a period in which the input voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold.
