Wearable devices have been on the mind of the semiconductor industry for several years now. The vision was of a highly sensorized human, with electronic devices providing localized, always-available functionality for a range of applications, including medical, health and wellness, lifestyle, etc. But, has this vision panned out? Is the technology there? Was there any application-level value to begin...
This paper introduces two emerging wearable technologies: Planar-Fabric Circuit Board (P-FCB) and Silicon-on-Clothes (SoC). P-FCB enables fabric itself to become a circuit board and it maximizes wearer's comfort and safety. Discrete components and dry fabric electrodes made out of P-FCB is discussed and their electrical characteristics are shown. SoC directly integrates silicon chip onto P-FCB to...
Two novel wireless fabric patch sensors are introduced for low energy wearable healthcare. The first is a wirelessly powered patch sensor that can be attached to a patient to capture electrocardiogram (ECG) while consuming only 12μW. By using fabric circuit board technology, the band-aid like sensor is implemented. The second wearable cardiac heathcare sensor, fabricated in the form of 4-layer compact...
