Smart Textile Sensor System for Health Monitoring

The Nanowear SimpleSense is a non-invasive, wearable and portable medical device for evaluation and monitoring of cardiopulmonary condition. It utilizes physiologic and biometric sensors, SAU, and software system with a suite of algorithms to monitor patient. The parameters include: two vectors of ECG, two vectors of impedance cardiography, thoracic impedance, respiration, heart sounds, and actigraphy and postures. The device is comprised of a wearable device made of an elastomeric harness comprising of active and passive Nanosensors, heart sound sensor, connector to electrically connect the sensors to SAU, it comprises of Inertial Measurement Unit, analog front end, processing unit, storage unit, power supply, and a wireless module, and a software system equipped with the suite of algorithms to monitor heart. The signals are recorded by SAU, transferred to the iPhone over Bluetooth, which later transfers the data to a secure website over an internet connection Wi-fi or mobile network.
