Development of Sensor Integrated Ware Capable of Respiration Measurement using Printed Electronics

Abstract

Recently, wearable systems that can routinely acquire and manage biological information such as heart beat, pulse, brain waves, blood pressure and the like more easily without going to a hospital has attracted attention. However, their acquired data are less accurate and less reliable than those of medical devices. On the one hand, it takes time and effort to measure when high accuracy is required, and stresses such as sense of incongruity and sense of restraint is also large. Therefore, in this research, we have tried to develop the sensor integrated ware which can measure respiration all the time more easily and comfortably using printed electronics. Furthermore, the sensor integrated ware can accurately capture the data by printing the sensors at the positions where breathing motion.
