Development of smart apparel for bio-signal measurement

In this presentation, Lok will share the development process of a smart apparel with ECG sensing. The process includes material formulation for printability, washability and safety, coating and patterning of electrode, fabric and apparel integration, functional testing and reliability validation. The smart apparel was tested by a third party for machine wash resistance and toxicity. Over 100 machine wash cycles were achieved through material and manufacturing innovations. The challenges in consumer acceptance will be discussed.
