  • Title: Wearable Sensors? What is there to sense?
    Author: Brady S, Dunne LE, Lynch A, Smyth B, Diamond D.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2005; 117():80-8. PubMed ID: 16282656.
    Abstract:
    This paper provides an overview of research conducted in the development of ambulatory devices for wearable sensing applications. Two configurations of wearable sensing are shown, the first a wearable chemosensor in a wrist-watch configuration, and the second a textile with an integrated foam sensor. The foam sensor is composed of polypyrrole-coated polyurethane foam, which exhibits a piezo-resistive response when exposed to electrical current. The potential of wearable sensing is discussed using these examples to illustrate the relevant concerns.
