摘要:
An independent wearable health monitoring system, configured for use by a living being on a daily basis. The system includes a knitted garment worn by the living being adjacently to preconfigured body locations, a garment-processing device having processor, and a multiplicity of sensors adapted to measure health parameters, wherein at least some sensors are integrally knitted with the knitted garment, and wherein the knitted textile sensors include electrodes adapted to provide ECG data. The system further includes an interface adapted to operatively connect at least one external medical device to the garment-processing device. Preferably, the health monitoring system further includes two conductive, integrally knitted pads operatively disposed tightly adjacently to the skin of the monitored living being, adapted to facilitate placing of a respective defibrillator paddles thereon and applying defibrillator shocks. Preferably, the garment-processing device controls the activation and deactivation of the defibrillator shocks.
摘要:
A connector-and-cable assembly, including an electronic connector, such as a HDMI connector, having an outlet section and a multiplicity of elastic conductive stripes. Each of the elastic conductive stripes is conductively connected, at a first end, to a respective preconfigured outlet pin of the electronic connector. The second end of each of the elastic conductive stripes is preconfigured to operatively attach to a respective sensor, such as a textile electrode of a smart garment. Typically, at least one of the elastic conductive stripes is a textile based conductive stripe.
摘要:
A garment that includes textile ECG-arm-electrodes (110LA and 110RA), such as knitted electrodes, wherein the textile ECG-arm-electrodes are located within the garment such that when the garment is worn, the textile ECG-arm-electrodes are situated adjacent to the bodily skin overlaying the outmost region of the Pectoralis major muscle, proximal to the shoulder muscle. Preferably, the positioning of the textile ECG-arm-electrodes, within the garment, is designed to match the size of the garment.
摘要:
A seamless, smart fetal monitoring garment and methods of using thereof. The system includes a knitted or interwoven garment having a multiplicity of conductive textile electrodes for sensing maternal and fetal electrical vital signals. The maternal and fetal electrical vital signals are selected from a group including maternal heart rate, fetal heart rate and electromyogram (EMG) activities including uterine activities. The method includes wearing the garment, acquiring electrical mixed common, maternal and fetal vital signals from surface region of a pregnant woman, using the plurality of textile electrodes, optimally weighted summing-up the acquired signals, analyzing the summed-up signals to thereby extract the maternal signal and the fetal signal, including determining their heart rates, and including detecting health hazards and in some embodiments, including detecting a uterine contraction sequence suggesting the need to be hospitalized for birth giving.

摘要:
A method for knitting a garment having a tubular form, including knitting at least one conductive textile electrode on a machine having N participating feeders and M needles. The method includes the steps of continuously knitting the tubular form with one or more flexible non-conductive yarns, and knitting the electrode integrally within the tubular form, using a conductive yarn, in addition to the non-conductive yarns. The conductive yarn is knitted in a float-loop form by knitting a stitch and skipping over y needles, as follows: repeatably knitting a line segment L k , using feeder F i and starting at needle D 1 and knitting line segment L k+1 , using the next feeder and start stitching the first float-loop at needle D 1+s where 0
摘要:
A seamless and preferably substantially continuous health monitoring system, designed for use by a healthy living being but also suitable for non-healthy living being, the system including a control module, a communication unit and one or more sensors. The sensors can be in-vivo nano-sensors, micro-sensors, subcutaneous, wearable or implanted sensors. The control unit includes an analysis subsystem having a processing unit and an alerting unit. Each of the sensors is configured to detect a predetermined physiological or chemical parameter of the living being. The communication unit is facilitated to transmit the detected parameters to the analysis subsystem. The processor analyzes the detected parameters to thereby determine if the health state of the monitored living being is abnormal. When at least one detected parameter or the health state is determined to be abnormal, the alerting unit is operatively activated to alert a predetermined alert receiving entity.
