Abstract
The proposed article introduces a design of smart bed sheet for contactless electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement. As a sensor part, active capacitively coupled textile electrodes sewn into the bed sheet were designed. A measuring part represents a developed control unit for data preprocessing and acquisition utilizing the ADS1198 front-end chip. Design and implementation of the sensor part as well as measuring part are discussed in detail. A pilot prototype was fabricated to evaluate the feasibility of the design and reliability of contactless ECG measurement. The present prototype appears promising for application to bedding as an unconstrained method for ECG monitoring.
