Abstract
The fabric-embedded fibre-like biometric sensor that is being described in this case study provides a continuous and simultaneous measure of a large plurality of biomedical parameters such as heart-beat rhythm and a phonocardiogram-like signal, breathing (rhythm and respiration sound), blood pressure and blood-pulse velocity, and is a touch-less device targeting the entire community (and not only sport wear). It does not have any electrical contact, therefore can be used in wet environment without degradation in its performance. It was integrated into a shirt and tested before and after being washed and ironed. The operation principle of the fibre-like sensor includes insertion of special artefacts into the core of the fibre and measuring the back reflected light.
