최근 직물전극을 의복에 적용하여 의복을 착용한 상태에서 심전도, 심박과 같은 생체신호를 측정하는 방법이 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 그러나 대부분 직물전극의 경우, 높은 임피던스와 피부-전극 간의 불안정한 접촉으로 인해 생체신호를 측정하는 것은 매우어렵다는 문제점들이 지적되어 왔다. 이 논문에서는 피부-전극 간의 접촉을 향상시키기 위한 전극의 구조를 고안하여 의복에 적용함으로써, 착용자의 피부와 직물전극간의 접촉을 안정화 시킨 후, ECG(Electrocardiogram)를 측정하였다. 본 연구의 실험에 사용한 전극의 특성 분석 방법으로는 전극의 임피던스와 그에 따른 ECG 를 측정하여 SNR 분석을 실시하였다. 직물전극의 두 가지 구조와 직물전극과 트랜스미터 연결 스냅간 접촉 방식에 따른 ECG 측정을 비교한 결과, 전극 구조와 전도성 paste 사용 여부는 모두 ECG 측정에 영향을 미쳤다.

In this paper, we propose a real-time ECG monitoring system for personal health records. This study aims to provide services that help patients to monitor their own physical condition and manage their own health records consistently, whereas existing medical services are Medical Institute-Centric model. The system is composed of web server, smart phone, and ECG meter, and web page. Without time and space restraints, It provides us with managing personal health records by performing patient's ECG measurement and real-time monitoring. And also Real-time bidirectional communication between smart phone and web page can be performed rapidly by applying the ECG monitoring with WebSocket Technology that follows HTML5 standard. Through this system, It can handle patient in need immediately.

Ubiquitous services are high duality and differentiated services which are provided for users by recognizing the context of users and environmental conditions actively. In this case, context-aware middleware is one of the most important technologies required to implement the ubiquitous services. In this paper, we propose a method for providing ubiquitous services in a specific user space effectively and monitoring human bio-signal sensors. That is, the design and implementation of intelligent home service middleware and monitoring human bio-signal sensor based on context awareness is discussed here. Context information from various sensors is gathered, and suitable services are inferred and provided to users by the middleware system. In our approach, user services can be modelled easily by using facts and rules, and the system can be extended easily to support various ubiquitous services other than intelligent home services also. The system can be integrated with external applications and legacy systems effectively by using various protocols such as RMI, socket and HTTP, XML and Zigbee etc. We have designed and evaluated various facts and rules for intelligent home services in real environments. Functionality evaluation with the system shows that ubiquitous services can be provided to users effectively in a home environment.

The purpose of this paper is to implement a multiple bio-signal central monitoring system based on textile fabrics flexible platform which can obtain and monitor bio signals(heart rate, body temperature, electrocardiography, electromyogram) of workers in special working environments and additional situational information (3-axis acceleration, temperature, humidity, illumination, surrounding image). This system can prevent various accidents that may occur in the remote work environment and provide fast and efficient response by detecting workers' situations in real-time. For it, the textile fabrics flexible platform was made as innerwear or outerwear so that it does not interfere with workers' performance while collecting bio-signal and situational information, and obtained information is sent to the central monitoring system through wireless communication. The central monitoring system is based on wireless medical telemetry service of WMTS (Wireless Medical Telemetry Service); can monitor from 2 to 32 people simultaneously; and was designed so that it can be expanded. Also, in this study, to verify performance of the WMTS communication model, packet transmission rates were compared according to the distance.

Recently, many researches have been actively to diagnose symptoms of heart disease using ECG signal, which is an electrical signal measuring heart status. In particular, the electrocardiogram signal can be used to monitor and diagnose arrhythmias that indicates an abnormal heart status. In this paper, we proposed 1-D convolutional neural network for arrhythmias classification systems. The proposed model consists of deep 11 layers which can learn to extract features and classify 5 types of arrhythmias. The simulation results over MIT-BIH arrhythmia database show that the learned neural network has more than 99% classification accuracy. It is analyzed that the more the number of convolutional kernels the network has, the more detailed characteristics of ECG signal resulted in better performance. Moreover, we implemented a practical application based on the proposed one to classify arrythmias in real-time.

ECG is used on purpose to keep good health or monitor cardiac function of aged person as well as on purpose to diagnose the disease of heart patients. The ambulatory ECG monitoring system under guarantee of safety and accuracy is very efficient to prevent the progress of heart disease and sudden death. These systems can detect the temporary change of ECG that is very significant to diagnose heart disease such as myocardial ischemia, arrhyamia and cardiac infarction. In this paper, we describe the ECG signal analysis algorithm and measurement device for ECG monitoring. The authors designed a small-size portable ECG device that consisted of instrumentation amplifier, micro-controller, filter and RF module. The device measures ECG with four electrodes on the body and detects QRS complex and ST level change in realtime. Also it transmits the measured signals to the personal computer. The developed software for ECG analysis in personal computer has the function to detect the feature points and ST level changes.
