Biological information measuring garment
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a biological information measuring garment having excellent exterior design, and yet with high measurement accuracy. A biological information measuring garment is provided with an electrode support portion which is joined to a garment body with an amount of freedom and which preferably has a covered-binding structure (looped structure), wherein the amount of freedom of the electrode support portion is set in a predetermined range such that, even when an electrode is in contact with the skin and in a semi-fixed state, the outer side of the garment can accommodate natural movements. In addition, a garment includes at least: a cup portion which covers the female breasts; and a front body, the garment further including on the inside thereof an electrode support portion provided with an electrode for biological information measurement. The cup portion, the front body, and the electrode support portion are sewn together at the same position, and a measuring device is disposed so as to be hidden between the garment and the electrode support portion, thus providing a structure preventing the measuring device from being seen from the outside.
Wearable defibrillator with no long-term ECG monitoring
A wearable defibrillator system includes a support structure with one or more electrodes in an unbiased state. A monitoring device monitors, for the long term, a parameter of the person that is not the person's ECG; rather, the monitored parameter can be the person's motion, a physiological parameter, or both. When a value of the monitored parameter reaches a threshold, such as when the person is having an actionable episode, the electrode becomes mechanically biased against the person's body, for making good electrical contact. Then, if necessary, the person can be given electrical therapy, such as defibrillation. As such, the electrodes of the wearable defibrillator system can be worn loosely for the long term, without making good electrical contact. This can reduce the person's aversion to wearing the defibrillation system.
Wearable device for assisting body movement
A wearable device for assisting a human body movement according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a sensor including an inner electrode arranged at a center of an arbitrary circle, a plurality of outer electrodes arranged at regular intervals in a circumferential direction at positions spaced apart from the inner electrode in a radial direction so as to be arranged on a circumference of the circle, and a plurality of deformation elements disposed between the inner electrode and each of the outer electrodes and formed of a material whose resistance is changed by deformation; a controller configured to apply different control signals to an actuator according to a combination of different resistance values of the deformation elements of the sensor; and the actuator operating based on the control signals of the controller.
