Abstract

The prototype of a communicating undercloth for medical remote monitoring was realized. It delivers physiological information on the subject (cardiac frequency, breathing frequency, mid-temperature) as well as the environment and activity parameters (ambient temperature, fall detection). It also enables the automatic data transfer when an event occurs, with the localization of the subject.
