Development of Smart Furnitures Using Non-Contact ECG Textile Sensors

In collaboration with Vee Canada Inc and Sona College of Technology and Vee Technologies in India, we propose to create a noncontact Electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring system embedded into different furniture such as a bed and chair for fully sensing and processing human heart activity using textile-based sensors and machine learning modules. The project’s ultimate goal is to continuously track human heart activity, i.e., to measure ECG signals. Furthermore, a pressure sensor mat will be used to follow the seating activity for further processing. This system targets sensing and processing specific electrophysiological signals, namely, ECG and seating activity with a pressure mat.
