Textile sensors used in smart clothing to monitor the vital functions of young children

Abstract

The textile sensors described in the paper are part of the textronic system developed to monitor vital functions of infants and small children - BabyTex. The system enables one to carry out remote monitoring of respiratory rhythm, moisture, body temperature and motoric activity of infants and young children using smart underwear. The article focused on the parameters and measurements results of the designed textronic sensors.
