| Abstract: | This study focusses on the implementation of electrodes on a smart shirt for heart rate detection in individuals with limited verbal communication abilities. The objective is to determine the optimal location while ensuring optimal skin-electrode contact. The methodology includes exploring solution to enhance conformal contact, the development of prototypes, and conducting tests using two electronics modules called MoveSense and SentiECG. Findings reveal that placing the electrodes horizontally underneath the breast on the front of the shirt gives optimal performance with minimal motion artifacts and noise. The proposed final design incorporates a shirt composed of 87% nylon and 13% elastane, along with the recommended electrode placement. Future research should focus on different shirt sizes, expanding the participant population, extending measurement duration, and addressing motion artifacts during active sessions. Overall, the smart shirt holds promise for accurate heart rate monitoring in individuals with limited verbal communication abilities. |
