Abstract :
In this paper, we present fabric sensors for the recording of electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiration rate. Special attention is given to the dedicated sensor interface circuits. The sensors are integrated in a prototype belt for an intelligent suit. The suit will contain not only the sensors, but also the interface, data handling, storage and transmission circuitry. The suit is intended for the monitoring of children in a hospital environment.
