MOBISERV FP7 248434
1Introduction and features
1.1 Executive summary
This document accompanies the actual / “physical” prototypes of the MOBISERV Wearable
Health Supporting Unit (WHSU) (shirt and band for daily use, pyjamas for night use,
together with a data logger and an application on PC). It aims at providing general
information about the prototype(s) and to briefly explain how they work.
1.2 General overview
The WHSU can be used in two different configurations. The first one concerns the direct use
with secondary user; that means without the need of the complete MOBISERV infrastructure.
The two actors are the patient and the healthcare professional. The figure below shows the
configuration needed.
Figure 1: Direct connection with secondary user
This configuration can be used in the hospital or during a medical examination and does not
need any intervention from the patient.
The second configuration is the complete system involving the PRU, the SHACU and the
WSHU. This configuration is used daily at home. The difference between the two
configurations is the application on PC. The viewer for the secondary user allows the
visualization of the whole set of vital signs and extracted parameters in real time while the
second configuration is a full long term monitoring of the patient in his/her daily life.
The data logger monitors vital signs (ECG and respiration), activity (3-axis acceleration) and
physiological extracted parameters, which are Heart rate (HR), Breathing rate (BR), activity
classification (lying, standing, walking, running and others). All the data can be recorded
(daily or nightly sessions) in a removable SD memory card (recording mode) or / and sent in
real time via Bluetooth to a PC (streaming mode). All recorded vital sign and processed data
can be downloaded via USB link while the data logger is recharging. It is a convenient,
economical way for later review of the recorded information.

1.3 Structure of the document
This document is organized as follows. The first chapter provides a general overview of the
system and possible configurations. The second chapter is dedicated to the description of the
daily and nightly application and the garment that is used in each case. The third chapter is
devoted to the technical description of the body sensor network based on ANT technology.
The fourth chapter describes the data logger in terms of hardware specifications and
maintenance. The fifth chapter gives an overview of the monitoring infrastructures for both
the secondary user environment and with the Robot and the SHACU. Chapter six gives the
necessary information to install the application on PC for the secondary user as well as a
short description of how to use the viewer. Chapter 7 gives some indications on the data
logger and the compliance with electrical and safety standard for medical devices. Chapter 8
provides a “getting started” description for the user himself. Finally, chapter 9 is advice
guideline related to the care and maintenance of the hardware (garment and embedded
electronics).

MOBISERV FP7 248434
2Garments
Within the scope of MOBISERV two different types of garments have been created for vital
signs monitoring: the first one refers to sensorized shirt and band for day use, and the second
one to nightgown for night use. The garments have been deeply evaluated several times
during the project and revised accordingly, following suggestions and remarks carried out by
experts, carers and finally end-users in an iterative approach.
Following the delivery of the first set of wearable prototypes (D 5.3), an extensive evaluation
of WHSU has been conducted in 2012 in four stages:
•co-operative evaluation with carers,
•expert review by a care expert,
•co-design evaluation sessions with older adults,
•home trials.
The results are described in D2.5 Issue II - Appendix 3. The outcomes of this evaluation
study have been deeply discussed among the involved partners to start a second refinement
process. On the garment side, the changes were fundamentally focused on ergonomic,
comfort and usability aspects. The goal: to deliver a set of final prototypes as close as
possible to the elderly needs. No changes were made on the number and type of sensors
integrated into the textiles given to the fact that they can be considered sufficient for the
proposed scenarios.
In the following chapters the final prototypes of garments are presented and described. Care
and maintenance guide together with instructions for the correct use of the garments can be
found in chapters 8 and 9.
2.1 Design of the new prototypes
The main issues and remarks raised during the evaluation trials can be summarized as
follows:
•Users could be disoriented and confused by using the WHSU
•In the night systems, people can be confused by the use of the two data-loggers
•Pyjamas were not easy to be worn due to a lack of a front opening
•Elderly in general prefer to not wear lower part of pyjamas during the night
•The pockets of the garments didn't prevent the data-logger to coming out, especially
while sleeping
•People were afraid to damage the garments while washing them
•Temperature sensors and cables could be scaring and not comfortable for users
•People have difficulties to understand which is the inner part of the band
Generally, positive feedbacks were given on the chosen materials (mainly cotton based
yarns), and the use of zip and Velcro®.
2.2 Day Garments
Before starting the development of the new wearable systems, some sketches were designed
and submitted to the expert partners to eventually check some inconsistency.
Figure 3 presents the sketches for the day garments.

D5.4: Multi-sensor system integrated into wearable fabrics 11/42
MOBISERV FP7 248434
Figure 3: The sketch of the female (a) and male (b) day shirt
The improvements to the final prototypes of shirts can be resumed in the following list of
bullets:
•Pockets are now closed by Velcro®.
•A colour code to clearly bind the type of electronics with the pocket and connector is
used to avoid confusion.
•A label with visual instruction for the correct use is applied to the shirts.
•A label with info on size, materials and washing instructions is applied to the shirts
•Removable long/short sleeves are added to the shirts to customize the dressing and to
increase thermal comfort
•Textile electrodes are integrated into an adjustable strip to enhance the fitting of the
sensing part to the user
The shirts are made with cotton fabric that is one of the preferred materials by elderly people.
As the previous prototypes, both shirts and band presents:
a) four textile electrodes placed on the chest region to detect ECG (1 Lead) and
respiration through bio impedance measurements,
b) one custom connector to plug the electronic,
c) a pocket to house the electronic during use,
d) a Velcro® fastening for the band and a zip for the shirts.
A label with visual instructions for the correct use of the shirts has been designed to facilitate
the users in the wearing of the shirts. The label is shown in Figure 4:

D5.4: Multi-sensor system integrated into wearable fabrics 12/42
MOBISERV FP7 248434
Figure 4: The visual label with instructions for the correct use of shirts
A very simple label assists the user by means of four basic steps, during the use of the
WSHU. The final prototypes of shirts for female and male are illustrated in Figure 5 and
Figure 6.

MOBISERV FP7 248434
Figure 6: The four textile electrodes in the inner side of the female shirt
The day garments collection also includes a band that can be used during a short time
window, for instance just to monitor an exercises session during the day.
The band could help to overcome possible lacks in acceptability by the users that do not want
to wear the sensorized shirt for the whole day.
The band has been improved by:
•Redesigning pocket to increase ergonomics and comfort.
•Using different colours for the inner and outer side of the band to avoid confusion.
•Inserting a label with visual instructions for the correct use.
•Inserting a label with info on size, materials and washing instructions.
Capital letters L and R has been inserted into the bands to facilitate orientation when wearing
it.
The inner and outer side of the band are shown in Figure 7

2.3 Night Garments
As for the day garments also night monitoring system has been completely redesigned to
include all recommendations made by the users and by the experts within the evaluation
trials. In particular, the idea to have a pyjama has been abandoned and replaced by a
nightgown that seems to be easier worn and more accepted by elderly in general.
A first sketch of the night garments has been designed and submitted to experts. The sketch is
shown in figure 6.
Figure 8 The Male/Female sketch of the nightgown
As a result the following list of bullets describes the improvements made with respect to
previous pyjamas prototypes:
•Pyjamas are replaced by nightgown to increase comfort and usability.
•Pockets are closed by Velcro® to prevent electronics to slide out while sleeping.
•A colour code to clearly bind the type of electronics with the pocket and connector is
used to avoid confusion.
•A label with visual instruction for the correct use is applied to the nightgown.
•A label with info on size, materials and washing instructions is applied to the
nightgown
•Velcro fastening on wrist is not comfortable and is replaced by elastic rib
•Temperature sensor is inserted into a soft pocket and it could be glued to avoid
discontinuity between metal and skin
•The fastening on Nightgown is now similar to the one used in the shirts to let the user
to be able to fully open it.

D5.4: Multi-sensor system integrated into wearable fabrics 15/42
MOBISERV FP7 248434
The label for nightgown also contains the instructions to correctly use the ANT data logger
for temperature monitoring, as shown in figure 7.
Figure 9 The label inserted in the nightgown
Two textile electrodes are available as conductive cuffs (see Figure 10). An elastic material
together with a cord lock system has been inserted in order to let the user adjust and optimize
the skin/electrode contact without losing comfort. The chosen sensor is the same commercial
thermistor of the previous prototypes, which gives reliable information with a 0.1 degree of
accuracy. One sensor has been integrated into the nightgown, inside the cuff. The choice of
the location is aiming at two different goals: to maintain comfort for the user on one side, and
to guarantee a good contact with the skin in order to reach a thermal equilibrium with the
body on the other side. The chosen region seems to be the best trade-off between reliable
information and comfort for the user.

The measured A/D data represents the voltage drop across the thermistor. In order to
calculate the corresponding resistance value the following conversion must be applied to the
data value:
= 0.305 ∙ + 22400Ω
Once the resistance value is calculated, the Steinhart-Hart equation can be used to estimate
the corresponding value of temperature (Kelvin degrees):
