- The document describes a wearable biomedical device called Vital Jacket, developed at the University of Aveiro, that continuously monitors ECG and movement through a comfortable garment.
- Vital Jacket aims to continuously monitor ECG and store movement data like speed, acceleration and position for over 24 hours through small, lightweight components embedded in a comfortable T-shirt.
- The system includes a T-shirt with disposable electrodes and an acquisition board that communicates with software on a PDA/smartphone to provide real-time monitoring and storage of full exam data for later analysis.
