“…This technique can be used to apply conductive polymers and metallic and electrolyte inks onto textile substrates. For instance, screen-printed silver ink on cotton and polyester for ECG electrode [112], dispersion of carbon nanotubes on cotton and polyester fabrics [113], and PEDOT:PSS-based conductive polymer on cotton fabric [114] have been reported.…”

In the last three decades, the development of new kinds of textiles, so-called smart and interactive textiles, has continued unabated. Smart textile materials and their applications are set to drastically boom as the demand for these textiles has been increasing by the emergence of new fibers, new fabrics, and innovative processing technologies. Moreover, people are eagerly demanding washable, flexible, lightweight, and robust e-textiles. These features depend on the properties of the starting material, the post-treatment, and the integration techniques. In this work, a comprehensive review has been conducted on the integration techniques of conductive materials in and onto a textile structure. The review showed that an e-textile can be developed by applying a conductive component on the surface of a textile substrate via plating, printing, coating, and other surface techniques, or by producing a textile substrate from metals and inherently conductive polymers via the creation of fibers and construction of yarns and fabrics with these. In addition, conductive filament fibers or yarns can be also integrated into conventional textile substrates during the fabrication like braiding, weaving, and knitting or as a post-fabrication of the textile fabric via embroidering. Additionally, layer-by-layer 3D printing of the entire smart textile components is possible, and the concept of 4D could play a significant role in advancing the status of smart textiles to a new level.

“…For this work, only the head phantoms were used, no humans. Therefore, the impedance was calculated using Equation (1), where the current is 6 × 10 −9 A. Then, the phantom-toelectrode impedance was analytically calculated.…”

“…However, such electrodes have to be validated prior to being employed in clinical practices. For instance, PEDOT/PSS-based and silver-based electrocardiography (ECG) electrodes have been developed [ 1 ] to measure heart activity but a scientific validation was not performed as part of that research as ECG signals were different from person to person and even for the same person over time. Electroencephalography (EEG) measurements to monitor brain activity are much more variable with changes over seconds.…”

During the development of new electroencephalography electrodes, it is important to surpass the validation process. However, maintaining the human mind in a constant state is impossible which in turn makes the validation process very difficult. Besides, it is also extremely difficult to identify noise and signals as the input signals are not known. For that reason, many researchers have developed head phantoms predominantly from ballistic gelatin. Gelatin-based material can be used in phantom applications, but unfortunately, this type of phantom has a short lifespan and is relatively heavyweight. Therefore, this article explores a long-lasting and lightweight (−91.17%) textile-based anatomically realistic head phantom that provides comparable functional performance to a gelatin-based head phantom. The result proved that the textile-based head phantom can accurately mimic body-electrode frequency responses which make it suitable for the controlled validation of new electrodes. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the textile-based head phantom was found to be significantly better than the ballistic gelatin-based head providing a 15.95 dB ± 1.666 (±10.45%) SNR at a 95% confidence interval.

Over the years researchers have studied the evolution of Electrocardiogram (ECG) and the complex classification of cardiovascular diseases. This review focuses on the evolution of the ECG and covers the most recent signal processing schemes with milestones over the last 150 years in a systematic manner. Development phases of ECG, ECG leads, portable ECG monitors, Signal Processing schemes and Complex Transformations are discussed. This paper summarizes the development of ECG features detection for cardiac anomalies and the history of the development of ECG monitors, beginning from String Galvanometer. It also discusses the automated detections on ECG beginning from 1960 to the most recent signal processing techniques. Additionally, this paper provides recommendations.
