Abstract
The paper describes an approach to monitor a person's ECG and activity continuously with functional clothing. A belt with integrated electronics has been developed and has proven long-term robustness of all electrical components. A low-power module measures the ECG signal as well as the acceleration (2-axis) and stores data continuously up to two days. A user test has been performed to evaluate the belt according to system performance at different daily-life activities like sleeping, walking and so on. System parameters are ECG-signal quality, system up-time, and ECG-signal coverage during a day.Keywords
