Magnetometer based physiological monitoring garment
First Claim
1. A monitoring garment, comprising:
- a panel formed of an elastic material;
a central communications pathway incorporated into the panel;
a garment circuit connected to the central communications pathway; and
a magnetometer circuit incorporated into the panel,wherein the magnetometer circuit includesa first pair of integral garment conductors electrically connecting a first magnetometer to the central communications pathway, the first magnetometer including a multi-layered printed circuit including a continuous conductive coil;
a second pair of integral garment conductors electrically connecting a second magnetometer to the central communications pathway, the second magnetometer including a multi-layered printed circuit including a continuous conductive coil, wherein the magnetometer circuit is configured to sense relative displacement between the first magnetometer and the second magnetometer, andwherein the garment circuit is configured to enable signal transmission to and from the first magnetometer.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to systems and methods for monitoring characteristics of a subject. A system according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a sensor subsystem including at least one respiratory sensor disposed proximate to the subject and configured to detect a respiratory characteristic of the subject, wherein the sensor subsystem is configured to generate and transmit at least one respiratory signal representing the respiratory characteristic, and at least one physiological sensor disposed proximate to the subject and configured to detect a physiological characteristic of the subject, wherein the sensor subsystem is configured to generate and transmit at least one physiological signal representing the physiological characteristic, and a processor subsystem in communication with the sensor subsystem, the processor subsystem being configured to receive at least one of the at least one respiratory signal and the at least one physiological signal.
