Design and Implementation of Textile Sensors for Biotelemetry Applications

The sensing of biological signals is very actual theme. Especially bioelectrical signals are commonly measured for the evaluating a health status of a man. This article is focused on the analysis and design of sensing electrodes by the use of unconventional materials for a long term bioelectric activity measurement with advanced capabilities in a transmission of signal, time-impedance stability and low half cell voltage. The principle of electrodes is conducting polymers which can be built-up on a textile or other non primary conducting materials. These types of sensors could be used among other ones in mobile human's telemetry systems. The sensors were tested in our laboratory and used in this telemetry project.
