Abstract
This paper introduces two emerging wearable technologies: Planar-Fabric Circuit Board (P-FCB) and Silicon-on-Clothes (SoC). P-FCB enables fabric itself to become a circuit board and it maximizes wearer´s comfort and safety. Discrete components and dry fabric electrodes made out of P-FCB is discussed and their electrical characteristics are shown. SoC directly integrates silicon chip onto P-FCB to form a system. With these technologies, an example patch sensor is also presented.
