Bio-sensing integrated garment

A signal monitor of a bio-sensing garment, the signal monitor comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with and readably by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to collect biometric information from a wearer of the bio-sensing garment by:
• receiving biometric information from each of a plurality of biometric sensors integrated into a fabric layer of the bio-sensing garment, the biometric information received via a connectivity layer integrated into the fabric layer of the bio-sensing garment and comprising one or more signal conductors coupled with each of the plurality of biometric sensors and one or more power conductors coupled with each of the plurality of biometric sensors, wherein at least one of the biometric sensors comprises one or more conductive pads comprising electrodes, a backing comprising a stretchable and washable substrate, and a standoff disposed between the one or more conductive pads and the backing, the standoff transferring pressure to the one or more conductive pads when the conductive pads are applied to a skin of the wearer of the bio-sensing garment, wherein a shape of the standoff on a portion adjacent to the backing has more curvature than a portion adjacent to the one or more conductive pads and wherein the curvature of the portion of the standoff adjacent to the backing determines the pressure applied by the one or more conductive pads to the skin of the wearer,
• comparing a received signal from each biometric sensor of the plurality of biometric sensors to a threshold value for each biometric sensor of the plurality of biometric sensors,
• in response to the received signal of at least one of the signal conductors of the connectivity layer being below a threshold value for the biometric sensor corresponding to the at least one of the signal conductors of the connectivity layer, causing a power source of the bio-sensing garment to increase a voltage supplied by the power source to the biometric sensor corresponding to the at least one of the signal conductors of the connectivity layer, and
• providing the received biometric information to an external computer system via a gateway of the bio-sensing garment.

A method for collecting biometric information from a wearer of a bio-sensing garment, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a signal monitor of the bio-sensing garment, biometric information from each of a plurality of biometric sensors integrated into a fabric layer of the bio-sensing garment, the biometric information received via a connectivity layer integrated into the fabric layer of the bio-sensing garment and comprising one or more signal conductors coupled with each of the plurality of biometric sensors and one or more power conductors coupled with each of the plurality of biometric sensors, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors comprises two or more of an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor, a respiration sensor, a PhotoPlethysmoGram (PPG) sensor, a temperature sensor, and an electromyography (EMG) sensor, wherein at least one of the sensors comprises one or more conductive pads comprising electrodes, a backing comprising a stretchable and washable substrate, and a standoff disposed between the one or more conductive pads and the backing, the standoff transferring pressure to the one or more conductive pads when the conductive pads are applied to a skin of the wearer of the bio-sensing garment, wherein a shape of the standoff on a portion adjacent to the backing has more curvature than a portion adjacent to the one or more conductive pads and wherein the curvature of the portion of the standoff adjacent to the backing determines the pressure applied by the one or more conductive pads to the skin of the wearer;
• comparing, by the signal monitor of the bio-sensing garment, a received signal from each biometric sensor of the plurality of biometric sensors to a threshold value for each biometric sensor of the plurality of biometric sensors;
• in response to the received signal of at least one of the signal conductors being below a threshold value for the biometric sensor corresponding to the at least one signal conductor, causing a power source of the bio-sensing garment to increase a voltage supplied by the power source to the biometric sensor corresponding to the at least one of the signal conductor;
• and
• providing, by the signal monitor of the bio-sensing garment, the received biometric information to an external computer system via a gateway of the bio-sensing garment.
