Summary: Health smart clothes which are in contact with almost all the surface
of the skin offer large possibilities for the location of sensors for noninvasive
measurements. Head band, collar, tee-shirt, socks, shoes, belts for chest, arm,
wrist, legs provide localization with specific purpose taking into account their
proximity of an organ or a source of biosignal, and also its ergonomic possibility
(user friendliness) to fix a sensor, and the associated instrumentation (batteries,
amplifiers, signal processing, telecommunication, alarm, display). The research is
oriented toward two complementary directions : improving the relevancy of each
sensor and increasing the number of sensors for having a more global synthetic
and robust information.

2. Body Area Network
Aim:
The scope of this project is to develop a system which constantly monitors
the health status of a person (even while walking on the roads) and if any
abnormalities is found, it is immediately transferred to the nearest hospital,
seeking the attention of the doctor.
Project Description:
Our project is a working model, which incorporates sensors to measure all
these parameters like Body temperature, Respiratory Temp, ECG and Heart Beat
rate, all enclosed into a coat. An Embedded Micro controller scans data from all
this sensors and transfer it to the hospital if there is an emergency situation. It also
enables an alarm beep sound to indicate the patient. Moreover this system is
powered using a Battery, which enables us to use this system even when we are in
mobile.
Modules:
9 V Battery for Power Supply
Sensors and Transducers
Signal Conditioning Board
PIC Microcontroller Interface Board
Alarm and its Driver Circuits
