INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
Use of wearable monitoring devices allow
continuous monitoring of physiological signals
Wearable systems are totally non-obtrusive
devices that allow physicians to overcome the
limitations of ambulatory technology
Detects events predictive of possible worsening
of the patient’s clinical
situations
WHAT IS A BIOSENSOR WHAT IS A BIOSENSOR ??
A biosensor is a device for the detection of an analyte that combines a biological component with a physiochemical detector component

SMART SHIRT(GTWM)SMART SHIRT(GTWM) Smart shirt developed at Georgia tech which
represents the first attempt at relying an unobtrusive, mobile and easy to use vital signs monitoring system
Research on the design and development of a smart shirt fort a combat casualty care has led to the realization of the world’s first wearable motherboard
The principal advantage of smart shirt is that it provides for the first time a very systematic way of monitoring the vital signs of humans in an unobtrusive manner

FUTURE TRENDSFUTURE TRENDS
Smart shirt technology opens up existing opportunities to develop adaptive & responsive systems that can think & act based on the user condition, stimuli & environment.
The Smarts shirt’s delta acquisition capabilities can be used to detect the condition when an individual is lapsing into a diabetic shock and this integrated feedback mechanism can provide the appropriate response to prevent a fatality.
CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION Just as special-purpose chips and
processors can be plugged into a computer motherboard to obtain the required information processing capability, the smart shirt is an information infrastructure in which the wearer can “plug in” the desired sensors and devices, thereby creating a system for monitoring vital signs in an efficient and cost effective manner with a “universal” interface of clothing.
