A novel design and evaluation of wearable digital sensor for monitoring posture.

In this study, we propose a novel design of the wearable digital sensor, embedded within a monitoring suit for posture monitoring. Our studies are going to solve wearable monitoring systems' drawbacks, include non-washable, uncomfortable, and high power -consumption due to complex signal processing. There are two digital sensor designs, dome shape type and clip shape type, knitted on clothes. The characteristics of these two digital sensor designs are easy implementation, small size, low power-consumption, and comfort. Our proposed system can catch up and monitor postures of the real-time information from the wearing person. Therefore, the monitoring system embedded with the capability of detecting real-time postures and transmission makes it highly suitable for applications of remote healthcare and wellness.
