The ability to recognize and detect changes in human posture is important in a wide range of applications such as health care and human–computer interaction. Achieving this goal using loose-fit garments instrumented with sensors is particularly ...

A tear of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a common knee injury that requires up to a year of rehabilitation. Patients sustaining an ACL injury perform rehabilitation exercises mostly at home with limited supervision from orthopedists and receive ...

This work addresses an emerging topic of smart garments, namely how to decouple the application development from the underlying sensing hardware. The idea of a dedicated operating system, introduced in previous work, is further elaborated by proposing a ...

Smart garments, also known as wearable technology are designed with textiles engineered to perform specific functions. Progress in intelligent yarns and fibers present viable opportunities to design garment devices embedded with technology. This paper ...

This study assesses the accuracy of heart rate detection using custom fit intelligent garments with integrated textile electrodes. Two single lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) where recorded from 5 subjects using wet Ag/AgCl (WE) and textile electrodes (TE)...

This paper illustrates two extensive applications of a smart garment we previously developed for themonitoring of ECG, respiration, and movement. In the first application, the device, named Maglietta Interattiva Computerizzata (MagIC), was used for the ...
