Pressure Sensing on the Torso Using Smart Foam

Shirt contains pressure sensors made from Polyurethane foam coated with a pressure-sensitive polymer (Polypyrrole).

Foam retains the qualities of standard Polyurethane foam: it is soft, pliable, and washable.

Pressure sensors are used in 4 locations to sense specific body movements, physiological functions, and body positions
by recording the natural physical interactions between body and garment:

2-layer garment facilitates easy integration of additional sensor types and locations: a customizable research platform.

Removable control circuitry allows different types of display, communication, and monitoring circuitry to be used.
