Abstract

The invention is a wearable system that continuously monitors ECG and HRV-based stress via a silver-coated left shoulder electrode (3), right shoulder electrode (4), and waist-level electrode (5) integrated into the textile surface, processes the data on a magnetically separable main processing module (1), and provides the user with an instant tactile alert via a fabric-mounted haptic motor (2) at critical thresholds. In addition to providing early warning about heart rhythm disturbances and stress levels without requiring screen monitoring, the system transmits the processed data wirelessly to a mobile application via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communication units and sends automatic notifications to pre-defined relatives in case of emergencies.

Description

1 TARIFF 5 SMART CLOTHING AND TASPHEMOUS BIOFEEDBACK SYSTEM Technical Area The invention enables the processing of users' biosignals, particularly electrocardiography (ECG) data, in textiles. Monitoring via sensors integrated into its surface and at predetermined critical threshold values It relates to a wearable system that provides direct haptic feedback to the user. 10 Although the preferred form of application is in the form of an undershirt (sleeveless underwear), the system can also be used in t-shirts, It can also be integrated into sportswear and other similar textile products. State of the Art Today, wearable devices are used to monitor heart rhythm disorders and chronic stress. technologies; 15 standalone devices worn on the body, such as smartwatches, bracelets and chest bands. It is limited to these devices. These devices require the user to consciously plug in the device and charge it. This requires the user to constantly monitor device-body contact. Additionally, the existing The vast majority of systems present measurement results via a screen; this is a critical situation. This renders the early warning function ineffective in scenarios where the user cannot look at the screen. The Hexoskin Smart system (Hexoskin Inc., Canada) provides textile-based ECG measurement and washing. 20 It offers a detachable module structure that can be removed beforehand, but without any haptic feedback. It does not include a mechanism. Therefore, the user will not receive a response on the screen when their pulse or stress threshold is exceeded. They are unable to receive tactile stimulation without looking. Although the AIO Sleeve 2.0 system can perform ECG and HRV analysis, to initiate a measurement... This requires the user to touch their finger to an external electrode. This structure is continuously 25 and does not allow for passive biosignal monitoring; it requires active user intervention with the device. It requires. Nadi X Yoga Pants (Wearable X) system features haptic vibration feedback and screenless use. While successful in this respect, it does not include ECG or HRV measurement. The system only... It offers posture and movement analysis functionality but cannot perform cardiovascular biosignal monitoring. 30 In patent literature, the Electronic patent numbered WO2017017260A1 registered by Sanko Tekstil is mentioned. The button patent features a modular connection mechanism that can be removed with mechanical pins before washing. It describes [the application]. However, this patent does not apply to biosignal measurement, haptic feedback, or conductive textiles. It does not include integration, it only protects the clothing-electronic physical interface. It takes 35 2 While products in the general smartwatch and bracelet category can perform ECG measurements, clothing items can. These devices are not integrated into the fabric. They must be attached separately by the user. It does not use electrode technology, requires gel or adhesive material, and is magnetic. It does not have a detachable module structure. As explained in detail above, none of the current state of the art system or patent application; continuous and passive ECG with dry electrode technology and HRV 10 its measurement, threshold-based screenless haptic feedback and magnetically detachable washable module It is not possible to meet these three structural requirements simultaneously in a single textile product. The system that is the subject of the invention addresses these three. a unique design that solves the technical requirement within an integrated architecture and has no parallel in the literature. It offers a combination. Purpose of the Invention 15 The main purpose of the invention is to allow the user to wear an additional device without disrupting their daily life. The goal is to be able to continuously monitor ECG and stress levels without making it mandatory. In this regard, the sensors... Improving user comfort by integrating directly into the garment fabric, dry electrode. Eliminating the use of gels or adhesives through this technology, critical health data (heart rate, stress threshold, etc.) can be monitored haptically (vibrational) without the need for screen tracking. The aim is to inform the user immediately with a warning. Additionally, it has a magnetic connector. Thanks to its detachable module structure, the textile part can be easily washed and the module can be used independently. It is possible to update it.
