Big animal monitoring
Sensitive band for monitoring breathing and ECG over bareback horse for monitoring ECG and breath.
The big animal monitoring system includes:
A sensorized garment
The sensors are made of fibers that are directly woven during the production process to be fully integrated in the garment without discontinuity.
Also the connections between sensors are obtained using conductive fibers with the result to have a totally unobtrusive and highly comfortable sensorized garment.
An electronic device
The SEW is a device dedicated to the acquisition, processing, storage and / or transmission of data obtained through the use of our textile sensors integrated into the garment.
The Big animal monitoring system also comprises a complete software kit to manage the acquired data and to configure the electronic device.
With our software you will have a powerful instrument to manage and analyze the data acquired by your Big animal monitoring system.
THIS PRODUCT IS PROTECTED BY PATENT FROM 2019 (INVENTION NUMBER: 102017000129976)

The system is able to simultaneously acquire the following signals:
-
1 electrocardiographic signal (ECG), lead parallel to DI
-
1 respiratory signal (thorax)
-
body movements
The electronic device is equipped with a powerful processor that, through the use of complex signal processing algorithms, elaborates the acquired signals to extract several parameters like:
-
Heart rate and respiration rate
-
Quality indexes for ECG and respiratory signals
-
Heart rate variability (sympatho-vagal index)
-
Posture and/or activity classification (lying, standing, walking, running)
-
Estimation of energy expenditure
-
step/minute
The ECG and respiratory signal are obtained by means of sensors made of yarns that are fully integ
rated into the textile structure that composes the garment. Posture and movements are monitored through the use of a tri-axial accelerometer, which is embedded into the small electronic device, and several sophisticated classification algorithms.
The WWS system offers an high level of comfort which makes it a perfect solution for long term monitoring of physiological parameters.
