Abstract :
This paper proposes a wearable inductor channel for blood pressure monitoring system in daily life. To achieve high wearability and low power consumption, inductive coupling concept with textile-based inductors is introduced. Two types of wearable inductors are proposed, and both of them are demonstrated to have the possibility as a wearable inductor channel for blood pressure sensors in daily life.
