The development of wearable chemical sensors is receiving a great deal attention in view non-invasive and continuous monitoring physiological parameters healthcare applications. This paper describes the fully textile, sensor based on an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) entirely made conductive polymer (PEDOT:PSS). active patterns are deposited into fabric by screen printing processes, thus allowing device to actually “disappear” it. We demonstrate reliability proposed textile OECTs...
Abstract Wearable technologies represent the new frontier of vital sign monitoring in different applications, from fitness to health. With progressive miniaturization electronic components, enabling implementation portable and hand‐held acquisition recording devices, research focus has shifted toward development effective unobtrusive textile electrodes. These electrodes can an alternative Ag/AgCl disposable gelled usually adopted clinical practice. This survey presents main requirements for...
This study was conducted to develop a screen-printed approach for the fabrication of textile electrodes and analyze their characteristic features use as electrocardiography (ECG) signal sensors. The were obtained by printing poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) organic bio-compatible polymer-based ink on finished fabric using polyester mesh 43 lines/cm. physical-chemical properties polymer solution varied obtain simple reproducible process good electrode...
In recent years, the variety of textile electrodes developed for electrophysiological signal detection has increased rapidly. Among applications that could benefit from this advancement, those based on surface electromyography (sEMG) are particularly relevant in rehabilitation, training, and muscle function assessment. work, we validate performance polymer-based screen-printed sEMG detection. We obtained these by depositing poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene doped with poly(styrene sulfonate)...
The goal of this work was the characterization textile ECG electrodes produced by screen printing with poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene doped poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) conductive organic polymer.In particular, printed were analyzed in light ANSI/AAMI standard EC 12:2000 to reasonably understand their potentialities for development smart garments.In fact, garments have be able resist everyday use, including typical garment maintenance.Simulated washing cycles performed following ISO...
In recent years, there has been a particular interest in wearable electronics for electrocardiogram (ECG) recording.The ultimate goal is the integration of both sensors and clothes, clinical non-clinical use.To date, textile ECG electrodes have mainly based on use conductive metal fibers woven or stitched finished substrate.In this work, textiles are obtained by treating fabrics with organic polymer poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene doped poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS).Compared to...
Objective assessment of taste perception is a challenging problem. In general, psychophysical tests based on the administration prototypical bitter compound, 6-n-propyltiouracil (PROP), and subjective scoring, are exploited. Since PROP tasting ability correlated to food preference also several clinical health-related conditions, development low-cost hardware/software tools for accurate testing (e.g., in pharmacies) an important goal. Previous works revealed possibility perform...
