Abstract
Actual portable bio signals health monitoring solutions are not wearable in the modern sense, i.e., like usual clothes. Clinical measurements such as ECG (Electrocardiograph) require numerous electrodes. Moreover, according to a panel of consulted doctors, many patients would benefit from daily long-term monitoring. Unfortunately, the available solutions able to acquire medical ECG are far from being adapted to such a daily use. Therefore, there is a corresponding lack in the prevention of heart illnesses due to limited observability for reasons such as comfort and usability, and, more importantly, because of the disagreements and irritations due to the long-term use of adhesive gel electrodes and straps. CSEM developed the technology of 'cooperative sensor' to address the integration of sensors with dry electrodes in garments and is further pushing toward system integration into textiles. This paper presents the ongoing activities and the expected achievements to be obtained through the realization of a first demonstrator that will be available in 2020 for first testing.
