Abstract

A wearable electrocardiogram(ECG) device using conductive fabric sensor was compared with traditional Ag-AgCl electrode ECG device. The ECG signals were measured under existence of motion artifacts on variable running speed using treadmill to verify that wearable device can substitute traditional ECG device. A signal to noise ratio (SNR) and RR interval were compared between the two devices. The SNR of wearable device was similar or higher than that of clinical device and difference of RR interval was 2ms. The results show that the wearable ECG device using conductive fabric sensor can make similar performance with ECG device using Ag-AgCl electrode even under motion artifacts.
