Abstract

In this paper proposals on construction of the contactless ECG scanning system hardware are described. The philosophy of the system is based on the idea of creating a simple-to-be-worn dress that includes capacitive ECG sensors the outputs of which are transferred to the A/D converter of a processing device. Contemporary technologies enable sewing of the sensors as well as the connecting wires into the dress. The processing device receives three analogous signals corresponding to the potential differences sensed on the body of the measured person. The paper is focused on the problem of getting and transmitting this signal to the processing device.
