Smart Shirt Montiors Breathing Contact-Free

May-19-17 A smart shirt with an oxygen sensor built in offers a non-contact way to monitor respiration rates in real-time.

Developed by a team from the Université Laval, the lightweight T-shirt is embedded with a spiral antenna made out of a hollow optical fiber and coated with a layer of silver. The antenna, which sits at chest level, collects respiratory data by tracking the amount of air in the lungs as well as the circumference of the thorax. That information is then transmitted via the same antenna to a device operating within the antenna's frequency.
