Abstract

We developed and tested a biomedical monitoring system using TextileNet, a flexible conductive garment for wearable computing. TextileNet detects biological signals while simplifying communication and power supply wiring. TextileNet also acts as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield, which makes it possible to use simpler amplifiers in the system. Using TextileNet, a huge amount of biological information can be processed simultaneously.
