GARMENT INCLUDING INTEGRATED SENSOR COMPONENTS AND FEEDBACK COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. A garment for measuring one or more parameters of a wearer, comprising:
- a base material configured to be worn by a wearer;
a sensing component having a first elastic stretchability along a first axis and a second elastic stretchability along a second axis that is greater than the first elastic stretchability, the sensing component integrated into a first location of the base material corresponding to a predetermined region of a wearer, the sensing component including an electrically conductive material having an electrical resistance that changes with a change in a length of the sensing component, the sensing component including at least one wire to electrically couple the electrically conductive material to a controller including a processor and a memory, the memory storing processor-executable instructions to cause the controller to determine a electrical resistance value across the sensing component via the at least one wire.

Abstract
A garment for measuring one or more parameters of a wearer includes a base material configured to be worn by a wearer and a sensing component. The sensing component has a first elastic stretchability along a first axis and a second elastic stretchability along a second axis that is greater than the first elastic stretchability. The sensing component is integrated into a first location of the base material corresponding to a predetermined region of the wearer. The sensing component includes an electrically conductive material having an electrical resistance that changes with a change in a length of the sensing component. The sensing component includes at least one wire to electrically couple the electrically conductive material to a controller including a processor and a memory. The memory stores processor-executable instructions to cause the controller to determine a electrical resistance value across the sensing component via the at least one wire.
