ELASTIC CONDUCTIVE STRIPE AND METHODS OF UTILIZING THEREOF
First Claim
1. A knitted smart garment, the garment comprising:
- a) a tubular form having a preconfigured elasticity;
b) at least one conductive textile electrode for sensing an electrical vital signal; and
c) at least one elastic conductive stripe, having a first end and a second end,wherein said first end of each said conductive stripe is securely and conductively attached to a respective said conductive textile electrode, and said second end of said at least one conductive stripe is operatively connected to a processor; and
wherein said elasticity of each said at least one conductive stripe is configured to prevent a pulling force from being applied to said respective conductive textile electrode, when said garment is stretched.

Abstract
According to the teachings of the present invention there is provided a knitted smart garment. The garment includes a tubular form having variable elasticity and at least one conductive textile electrode for sensing an electrical vital signal, such as a clinical-level ECG signal. The garment further includes at least one elastic and loose conductive stripe, having a first end and a second end. The first end of the at least one conductive stripe is securely attached to a respective conductive textile electrode, and the second end of the at least one conductive stripe is operatively connected with a processor. The elasticity and looseness of the at least one conductive stripe is configured to prevent a pulling force from being applied to the respective conductive textile electrode, when the garment is stretched.
