Textile sensors for personalized feedback (original) (raw)
2010
Wearable sensors provide a means of continuously monitoring a person in a natural setting. These sensors can “look in” by monitoring the wearer's health through physiological measurements and also by detecting their activities. Other sensors can be used to “look out” from the wearer into the environment through which he/she is moving, which may serve to detect any potential hazards or provide contextual information about the wearer's lifestyle. Wearable sensors can be harnessed to give immediate feedback to the wearer while also ...

By Holger Harms, Oliver Amft, Dominique Favre, Christian Liesen, Daniel Roggen, and Gerhard Tröster. -- Pervasive systems have a vast potential to provide novel assistive solutions, in particular in personalized health and sports applications. Recent research has been directed to develop smart monitoring garments with integrated sensors and processing functionalities to address these fields. It was found that clothing is an ideal platform for sensing and recognizing activities in natural out-of-lab settings. This paper discusses approaches to activity monitoring using smart garments and introduces the smart shirt (SMASH), a prototyping platform for quick exploration of options and challenges in development of convenient sensing garments. We discuss the primary challenge to obtain casual sitting cloths that can robustly identify activities at the same time.
