Human body interaction driven wearable technology for vital signal sensing

Interfaces and prostheses, whether physical, visual, or virtual, are more and more characterized by an ever-increasing level of complexity. In this designing scenario, the relationship with cognitive sciences, ergonomics, semiotics, and the contribution of enabling technologies is transforming the field of product design into that of the design of complex systems that interface the relationship between human and machine.

Abstract, There are several ways used by others to eat their food, one of which is using their own hands without cutlery. Eating with hands more people use this to make food tastier with the practicality of eating using hands is also one of the reasons many people like to use their hands as cutlery. The writing of this paper aims to find out how to eat by hand and cleanliness of food contamination and the quality of food consumed. The research method used was a literature study by analyzing the contents of eating using hands, body interaction, and the influence of eating using hands to understand the body. The results of this study indicate that eating using hands can affect the health of the human body.

Wearable technology is widely used for collecting information about the human body and its movement by placing sensors on the body. This paper presents research into electronic textile strain sensors designed specifically for wearable applications which need to be lightweight, robust, and comfortable. In this paper, sixteen stretch sensors, each with different conductive stretch fabrics, are evaluated: EeonTex (Eeonyx Corporation), knitted silver-plated yarn, and knitted spun stainless steel yarn. The sensors’ performance is tested using a tensile tester while monitoring their resistance with a microcontroller. Each sensor was analyzed for its sensitivity, linearity, hysteresis, responsiveness, and fatigue through a series of dynamic and static tests. The findings show that for wearable applications a subset of the silver-plated yarn sensors had better ranked performance in terms of sensitivity, linearity, and steady state. EeonTex was found to be the most responsive, and the stainless steel yarn performed the worst, which may be due to the characteristics of the knit samples under test.
