Abstract :
This paper presents a novel device for cardiac output monitoring based on electromagnetic coupling between the sensor and the thoracic tissue. The device works in a noncontact way and is integrated into a shirt. Since the device is wearable, mobile, wireless, and easily operated, it would allow the incorporation of cardiac output measurements into home monitoring systems.
