Measurement Using Conductive Polymeric Fibers in a Wearable Sensor Platform

The purpose of this study is to design polymer fiber sensors which can be embedded into a t-shirt for electrocardiography. Recent inventors have envisioned this concept, but the feasibility of this idea needs to be investigated. The sensors used in this study are designed in way to make good contact...
