  • Abstract
    We describe an initial investigation of the suitability of body worn capacitive sensors for the measurement of physiological parameters. We describe the basic principle, our measurement setup, and initial signal examples obtained using a conductive textile electrode. The examples show that breathing, breathing depth, and even drinking a cup of water produce distinguishable signals.
