Patent Images
1. A textile-based electrode system, comprising:
- at least a first fabric portion and a second fabric portion;
wherein;
the first fabric portion comprises at least a first electrically conductive region;
the second fabric portion comprises at least a second electrically conductive region;
the first and second fabric portions are disposed in a partially overlying relationship;
the electrically conductive region of the first fabric portion and the electrically conductive region of the second fabric portion cooperate to provide a region of at least partial physical contact; and
the region of partial physical contact establishes electrical conduction between the first electrically conductive region and the second electrically conductive region.

Abstract
Textile-based electrodes include a fabric portion having stretch-recovery non-conductive yarns and an electrically conductive region having stretch-recovery electrically conductive yarn filaments. The electrodes can further include float yarns and can be configured in a textured or ribbed construction. When incorporated into a garment, the electrodes can be used to monitor biophysical characteristics, such as the garment wearer'"'"'s heart rate.
