The Smart Shirt System will support the unobtrusive collection
of vital signs data (EKG, respiration rate) for the detection
of various disorders in infants, such as apnea,
prematurity, respiratory synctial virus, gastroesophageal
reflux, and seizure disorders. The data collected off the
infants’ body is transmitted wirelessly to a processing location
that will utilize analysis software provided by an existing
infant monitor manufacturer.
