BIOTEX—Biosensing Textiles for Personalised Healthcare Management
Open accessAbstract
Textile-based sensors offer an unobtrusive method of continually monitoring physiological parameters during daily activities. Chemical analysis of body fluids, noninvasively, is a novel and exciting area of personalized wearable healthcare systems. BIOTEX was an EU-funded project that aimed to develop textile sensors to measure physiological parameters and the chemical composition of body fluids, with a particular interest in sweat. A wearable sensing system has been developed that integrates a textile-based fluid handling system for sample collection and transport with a number of sensors including sodium, conductivity, and pH sensors. Sensors for sweat rate, ECG, respiration, and blood oxygenation were also developed. For the first time, it has been possible to monitor a number of physiological parameters together with sweat composition in real time. This has been carried out via a network of wearable sensors distributed around the body of a subject user. This has huge implications for the field of sports and human performance and opens a whole new field of research in the clinical setting.

Previously reported sweat-based and other non-invasive biosensors either monitor only one analyte at a time or lack on-site signal processing and calibration for accurate physiological analysis.
“Previously reported sweat-based and other non-invasive biosensors either can only monitor a single analyte at a time or lack on-site signal processing circuitry and sensor calibration mechanisms for accurate analysis of the physiological state14–18.”
From Fully integrated wearable sensor arrays for multiplexed in situ perspiration analysis (2016) · cites this paper as [16]
The Introduction describes limitations of earlier sweat-collection methods, but does not say that previously reported biosensors were restricted to one analyte or lacked on-site processing and calibration. It instead describes BIOTEX’s multiparametric patch; the sensor and control-electronics sections discuss calibration before trials and signal processing, without establishing the claimed either-or limitation of prior devices.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredWithin the BIOTEX project, researchers have developed a textile based fluid collecting system and sensors for in-vitro and in-vivo testing of pH, sodium and conductivity from body sweat.
“Within this project, researchers have developed a textile based fluid collecting system and sensors for in-vitro and in-vivo testing of pH, sodium and conductivity from body sweat [31,32].”
From A review of wearable sensors and systems with application in rehabilitation (2012) · cites this paper as [32]
By in-vitro and in-vivo testing of the wearable system, researchers have shown that the system can be used for real-time analysis of sweat during physical activity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
