Abstract :
Within the European integrated project "Proetex" (FP6-2004-IST-4-026987) three different wearable systems are under development to monitor physiological signals of firemen, detect environmental conditions and determine triage of victims during emergencies. All these systems use sensors that are integrated or embedded in garments to combine comfort to real wearability and real-time transmission. The present work is about the development and testing of electrodes and piezoresistive sensors made of yarn and integrated in the fireman\´s inner garment to monitor breathing.
