Abstract

This paper provides an overview of research conducted in the development of ambulatory devices for wearable sensing applications. Two configurations of wearable sensing are shown, the first a wearable chemosensor in a wrist-watch configuration, and the second a textile with an integrated foam sensor. The foam sensor is composed of polypyrrole-coated polyurethane foam, which exhibits a piezo-resistive response when exposed to electrical current. The potential of wearable sensing is discussed using these examples to illustrate the relevant concerns.
