Abstract

We developed a patch-type wireless multi-sensor system for physiological signals monitoring which is able to apply to tele-home-care or any related application. The module "tag", without any constraint of the belt, is attached to the belly and is easy to measure the skin temperature, ECG signals, and respiration at the same time and show by "computer information center". The Tag consists of three parts: a thermistor, an accelerometer, and electrocardiogram electrodes. In order to make the flexible module, the substrate adopts the soft PI with two conductive layers and the active and passive components are carefully selected.
