  • Abstract
    A T-shirt has been developed that measures an EKG signal. This work is different to other research in the field as it focuses more on advanced interconnection and integration technologies for electronics in textiles rather than on the EKG shirt as functionality. It is the first application using an interconnection technology based on embroidery of conductive yarn that has been developed recently and published in T. Linz et al. (2005)
