Abstract
In this paper the integration of a sensor for monitoring cardiorespiratory activity into a shirt is presented. The sensor works in a completely non-contacting way and is based on magnetic eddy current induction. By using a rather seldom approach based on a single coil that has been sewn onto the shirt, the electronic circuitry has been reduced to minimum. In this way it is possible to realize the whole electronic part on a small and flexible printed circuit board. The sensor’s potential for assessing respiration and pulse is demonstrated by measurements with a healthy volunteer.
