E-Textile Garment Simulation to Improve ECG Data Quality

Enhancing Biosignal Quality in Electrocardiogram Monitoring Garments: Validation of a Simulation-Based Contact Pressure Model

“…Verification of the CP model was conducted using ECG chest band design equipped with three-lead textile electrodes, as detailed in Figure . The development process includes the creation of a digital twin tailored to the subject’s body measurements, precise pattern design, and electrode fabrication via silver/silver chloride screen printing. , …”

“…The development process includes the creation of a digital twin tailored to the subject's body measurements, precise pattern design, and electrode fabrication via silver/silver chloride screen printing. 15,28 Textile-based ECG electrodes were fabricated using a screen-printed method, Ag/AgCl ink (Dupont 5880). The electrodes with size 30 mm diameter were applied onto a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) substrate (Dupont Intexar TE-11C) via a 200-count steel mesh, following the method outlined in Knowles et al 28 The TPU composites with the ink were heat transferred onto the chosen knit substrates (commercial single jersey knit and the developed interlock plaited (INTP) in this study).…”

The chest band size was customized to fit according to the subject's chest circumference, as targeting under the sport bra bust hem, and applied the strain by reducing the width length by 5, 10, 15, and 20% with respect to the original circumference.…”
