Abstract :
An electrocardiography SoC is integrated into a form-fitting textile along with flexible electrodes, battery and antenna. Clinically standard 12-lead ECG is recorded from this “smart shirt.” The data is encrypted and wirelessly transmitted via an on-chip ISM band radio and flexible antenna allowing secure, continuous cardiac monitoring on a smartphone while dissipating less than 1mW.
