Abstract

The electro-conductive fabric (e-textile or e-fabric) as an electrode for ECG measurement is one of the best application for ubiquitous healthcare system. However, it is difficult to measure the bio-signal due to its sensitivity variation caused by impedance change, especially by motion of the subject. In this paper, adaptive motion artifacts reduction using motion information from 3-axis accelerometer is proposed and analyzed in quantitative manner.
