Abstract

An ultra-thin and flexible physiological monitoring system has been designed that is suitable for use in a wide range of applications from sports training and performance assessment to the home health monitoring of the world´s aging population. Key aspects of the design include: embedded garment sensors with a simplified 1-wire bus structure; a miniaturized ultra-thin, self contained electronics/controller module; and a wireless interface for the real-time remote data monitoring and analysis.
