Abstract:
The aim of this idea is to show an early stage draft for measuring the electrical resistance in a designed/elaborated textile printed sensor with a mobile Arduino microcontroller. The textile sensor was developed by the screen printing technique based on a water dispersion of carbon nanotubes printing composition. By stretching and squeezing the T-shirt during breathing, we change the electrical resistances of the printed sensor. The measured resistance corresponds to the number of breaths of a person wearing it. The microcontroller can calculate the number of breaths as a number of electrical resistance peaks which can lead to monitoring human live parameters.
