"IEEE Sensors Alert" is a pilot project of the IEEE Sensors Council. Started as one of its new initiatives, this weekly digest publishes teasers and condensed versions of our journal papers in layperson's language.
Wearable devices for continuous monitoring of physiological parameters have acquired significance for their usage in healthcare and sports science. Among other vital parameters, the measurement of respiration rate is crucial since it could be used to detect physiological abnormalities and health status changes and even help predict cardiac arrest. The multi-sensor smart garments made of conductive yarns show great potential in developing efficient, noninvasive, and unobtrusive respiration rate monitors.
Wearable gait recognition systems incorporating MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) sensors are in demand because of their pivotal use in disease prevention, robotics, and identity recognition. Data pre-processing, filtering, and segmenting can successfully assist in detecting human gait. The patterns of the gaits are then analyzed to derive meaningful results. This exciting new domain has proven to be a lifesaver time and again.
