Fabric-integrated conductivity sensor

A system for monitoring a condition of a user, said system comprising:

• sensing means arranged to be located in a vicinity of a target volume of the user for detecting information representative to the user's condition, said sensing means comprising:
• magnetic means arranged as a resonant circuit, said magnetic means being arranged to induce an oscillating magnetic field in said target volume, the magnetic means being integrated into an insulating fabric carrier,
• power supply means connectable to said magnetic means, said power supply means being arranged to provide a signal characteristic to a power loss of said resonant circuit upon an application of said oscillating magnetic field to said target volume,
• detection means actuatable by said sensing means, said detection means being arranged to process said signal in order to derive said information.

An alarm system arranged for alarming upon a disorder in a condition of a user, said alarm system comprising:

• sensing means arranged to be located in a vicinity of a target volume of the user for detecting information representative to the user's condition, said sensing means comprising magnetic means arranged as a resonant circuit, said magnetic means being arranged to induce an oscillating magnetic field in said target volume, the magnetic means being integrated into an insulating fabric carrier,
• power supply means connectable to said sensing means, said power supply means being arranged to provide a signal characteristic to a power loss of said resonant circuit upon an application of said oscillating magnetic field to said target volume,
• detection means actuatable by said sensing means, said detection means being arranged to process said signal in order to derive said information,
• alarm means actuatable by the detection means, said alarm means being arranged to trigger an alarm signal upon detection of said information by the detection means.
