“…The ECG of a person is done to detect the abnormality in breathing, heart problems and emergency situations. The smart homes have been using wearable sensors [84][85][86][87][88][89] for the monitoring of heart signals by integrating the electrodes with the garments. The continuous monitoring of the heart rhythm of the elderly has to be performed to determine any sudden heart attack.…”

Abstract. The technological advancement in the past three decades has impacted our lives and wellbeing significantly. Different aspects of monitoring our physiological parameters are considered. Wearable sensors are one of its most important areas that have an ongoing trend and have a huge tendency to rise in the future. The wearable sensors are the externally used devices attached to any individual to measure physiological parameters of interest. The range of wearable sensors varies from minuscule to large scaled devices physically fitted to the user operating on wired or wireless terms. Many common diseases affecting large number of people notably gait abnormalities, Parkinson's disease are analysed by the wearable sensors. The use of wearable sensors has got a better prospect with improved technical qualities and a better understanding of the currently used research methodologies. This chapter deals with the overview of the current and past means of wearable sensors with its associated protocols used for communication. It concludes with the ways the currently dealt wearable sensors can be improved in future.

“…It is method of obtaining information about disease by passively recording the electrical activity of body parts or by measuring their response to external electrical stimulus. The most widely used specialized diagnostic technique of recording spontaneous electrical activity are electrocardiography (ECG) to monitor electrical activity of heart and elctrocephalography (EEG) to assess electrical activity of brain, electromyography (EMG) for monitoring nerve and muscle cell activity [15], tonometry for measuring internal eye pressure and spirometry to measure lung function. ECG electrodes with integrated nanostructure conformal antenna used as wireless transmitter to send data for remote health monitoring.…”

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of material on an atomic and molecular scale; by changing its physical, chemical and biological properties to produce novel materials, devices, and systems. Nanomaterials exhibit remarkable characteristics such as high surface to volume ratio, catalytic activity, and biocompatibility which make them suitable for various biomedical applications. Nanotechnology have prospective to improve the whole healthcare process for patient; starts from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up monitoring. Medical diagnosis based on nanotechnology provides two major advantages: rapid testing and early diagnosis. The potential contributions of nanotechnology in the medical diagnosis are extremely broad and improve traditional diagnostic tools and methods in the field of clinical diagnosis, imaging and electro-diagnosis. Emerging modalities such as biochip, microarray, nanobarcode, micro-electromechanical systems, lab on chip and nanobiosensor have revolutionized the field of medical diagnosis. Nanoscale materials and nano-enabled techniques are used for diagnosis of various diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, infectious disease, musculoskeletal and neurodegenerative disease etc. Among all medical applications of nanotechnology, nanobiosensor especially enzyme nanobiosensor are sensitive, reliable, robust, reproducible and cost effective diagnostic tool to meet the requirements of healthcare.

“…The first level covers the fibres [5,6]; the second level deals with the yarns [7][8][9][10] which are manufactured from fibres and the third level is the fabric structures [11][12][13][14][15] which are manufactured through various kinds of fabric forming process such as knitting, weaving, non-woven and braiding. Some successful prototypes have been developed during the last decade for measuring human physiological parameters such as skin temperature [13,16], heart rate [17], breathing rate [18], ECG [19] and blood pressure [20]. Among these measurements, cardio-respiratory monitoring is an important area in health informatics as respiration and heart beat patterns give valuable information about the general health and condition of patient.…”

Continuous measurement of cardio-respiratory signals offers various kinds of information valuable for the diagnosis of disease and management of the disease process. The article reports the development of the Piezofilm yarn sensor for healthcare applications, and investigates its performance by monitoring cardio-respiratory signals of human body over an extended period of time. Piezofilm yarn sensor was developed by embedding the thin PVDF strips within the textile yarn. The working mechanism of the Piezofilm yarn sensor is based on voltage generation due to the applied stress. In order to deploy the Piezofilm yarn sensor in the application environment, it was integrated into the knitted textile fabric and then sewn to form belt to be placed at the chest wall and wrist area. The raw signals were acquired through the Piezofilm lab amplifier, National Instrument data acquisition device and SignalExpress software. Fast Fourier Transform analysis was performed to calculate the average cardio-respiratory signal frequencies. Based on Fast Fourier Transform analysis, an additional signalprocessing step was added to eliminate the unwanted mechanical interference and body signals by using an Infinite Impulse Response band pass filter. The Piezofilm yarn sensor embedded sensing fabric was able to measure both respiratory rate and heart beat rate under static and dynamic conditions. The wrist area measurements for heart beat signals were found to be more uniform in comparison to the chest area measurements. Apart from the general healthcare, this sensing fabric could also be used in studies related to biorhythms, sports, detection of sleep apnea and heart problems.
