Abstract

AbstractThe integration of health monitoring and wearable antenna technologies has enhanced patient assessment and the provision of healthcare. Traditional health monitoring methods have evoked a surge in interest toward embroidered antennas as a viable solution for constant physiological monitoring in a noninvasive way. This study examines the performance of an embroidered wearable textile (EWT) antenna intended for breathing rate applications. The antenna is seamlessly integrated into a commercially available T‐shirt, extending the confines of “smart” textiles. The compact (45 mm × 26 mm) EWT antenna operates in 2.4 and 5.8 GHz with gains of 2.07 and 5.85 dBi, respectively. Crumpling and stretching analysis have also been investigated to ensure antenna's mechanical stability and reliability. Subsequently a specific absorption rate analysis has also been performed to quantify the radiation within specified limits.
