eHealth Monitoring Garment with Distributive Sensing
Abstract
CRG and teaming partner with textile expertise developed a wearable health monitoring garment that leverages multi-modal, distributive sensing through an array of miniature, ultra-low power sensors to realize high accuracy while mitigating bulk and discomfort. The team leveraged flexible circuits, sensors integration, and textile expertise to create a lightweight system that adds minimal thermal burden, and is a wearable garment capable of real-time physiological monitoring and data collection. The approach facilitates integration of electronics into a compression garment enabling remote health monitoring of physiological data, generating actionable information that protects and sustains user performance. The ability to monitor real-time physical response can enable proactive intervention and significantly reduce injury and even death from exposure to heat strain threats. This proactive intervention can benefit the warfighter in theatre or training missions.
