Abstract

Digital garments or smart clothes with noninvasive smart sensors handling vital signs are expected to be key elements for our health management in the future. A wellness wear system is an integrated system including such smart clothes with sensors acquiring bio-signals, digital yarns transmitting those signals, integrated circuits and microprocessors for digital signal processing, wired and wireless communication, and application software systems providing various medical services based on vital signs acquired. This paper is centered around software aspects for health management in the wellness wear system, introducing a related project launched recently. As a very first and important step for it, we in this paper propose a service framework for software applications as parts of a wellness wear system that provides users with various medical services primarily using vital signs obtained from smart clothes.
