Abstract

An apparel system integrates a physiology-sensing inner sleeve within conventional garments to conceal hardware while maintaining natural arm mobility. A sensing sleeve with a sensing armhole opening is secured at a garment armhole region with substantially corresponding circumferences and may be sewn, bonded, or removably coupled. A sensor assembly comprising a sensor panel and / or textile electrodes contacts the wearer's skin to acquire physiological signals, such as photoplethysmogram, electrocardiogram (single- or multi-channel), and ballistocardiogram data, which are delivered to a computing device via conductive fibers. A conductive textile interconnect routed through a yoke, shoulder seam, collar, side seam, or body panel couples the sensing sleeve to a complementary sleeve on the opposite arm. Assembly methods include coupling sleeves at their armhole openings, attaching the sleeve unit to a garment body, and integrating the sensor assembly and interconnect for use across a variety of garments.
