Embodiment Construction

[0051] The electrode 1 according to the invention is suitable for acquiring physiological signals of a subject, which electrode can be used in an ECG monitoring system (not shown). The electrode 1 comprises two layers of conductive fabric 2, 3 superposed together, wherein the first layer 2 is made of a woven material (see figure 2 ), while the second layer 3 with the working surface 4 to be in contact with the subject's skin (not shown) is made of a knitted material (see figure 1 )production. The first layer 2 ensures soft skin contact and improved wear resistance, while the second layer 3 enables a uniform electrical conductivity over the entire working surface 4 of the electrode 1 .

[0052] The conductive fabric layers 2, 3 are both made by using yarns containing stainless steel and polyester. The yarn comprises approximately 30% stainless steel and approximately 70% polyester.

[0053] The two layers 2, 3 are stretched or stretched over a flexible silicone pad 5 as a s...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrode for acquiring physiological signals of a recipient. Furthermore the present invention relates to a textile fabric for use in a garment to be worn by a recipient, and to a monitoring system for monitoring of physiological parameters of a recipient. In order to provide an electrode for acquiring physiological signals of a recipient, which on the one hand provides a soft, and comfortable skin contact, whilst on the other hand assures a high signal quality, an electrode (1) for acquiring physiological signals of a recipient is suggested, which comprises at least two conductive textile layers (2, 3) positioned on top of each other, wherein the first layer (2) is made of a woven material, and the second layer (3) having a working surface (4) to be brought into contact with the recipient's skin is made of a knitted material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrode for acquiring physiological signals of a subject. In addition, the present invention also relates to a fabric material for use on clothes worn by a subject and a monitoring system for monitoring physiological parameters of the subject. Background technique [0002] Monitoring systems for monitoring physiological parameters of a subject are known from the prior art. Systems for monitoring heart rate, respiration, and bioimpedance are already available for home use. Other systems, such as electroencephalography (EEG) systems, electrocardiography (ECG) systems or electromyography (EMG) systems, are primarily adapted for clinical use. [0003] In order to operate those systems, it is necessary to use electrodes that provide contact with the subject's skin. In order to make such electrodes more user-friendly and easy to use, eg in a home environment, it has been proposed to use textile electrodes which can be integra...
