Abstract
A sensorized garment is provided. The sensorized garment includes an wearable element on a skin having a hand-tightening or a closure device to securely constrain sensors, for example electrodes to detect electrophysiological signals, during a physical activity. The wearable element has a three-dimensional shape to uniquely define a right side and a left part of a circumferential zone when the wearable element is worn. The sensorized garment further includes a band carried by the circumferential zone, and at least one conductor connected between the sensor and a zone of the sensorized garment.
Claims20
A sensorized garment, comprising:
- a wearable element, wherein in use, the wearable element contacts a skin and has a circumferential zone surrounding a part of a body;
- a band, wherein the band is carried by the circumferential zone, the band comprises a first end portion and a second end portion moving relative to each other while the wearable element is worn;
- a closure device for hand-tightening the band on a body part and acting on the first end portion and the second end portion, wherein the band is in a circumferential tension contacting the skin in use when the closure device is tightened and the band is loose around a portion of the body to facilitate wearing when the closure device is released;
- at least one sensor applied on the band to detect upon tightening of the closure device;
- at least one conductor, wherein the at least one conductor is connected between the at least one sensor and a zone of the sensorized garment, and is configured to bring an acquisition unit programmed to process a sensor signal transmitted through the at least one conductor;
- wherein the wearable element has a three-dimensional shape to uniquely define a right side and a left part of the circumferential zone when the wearable element is worn.
