Design and Fabrication of Smart Band Module for Measurement of Temperature and GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) from Human Body

Abstract In order to monitor health usually, the wearable type smart band module to measure the physiological signals from human body was designed, fabricated and characterized. Smart band module largely consisted of two parts, one was flexible sensors module and the other one was signal processing and communication module. And then two modules were interconnected with Cu wires. Finally, flexible temperature sensor of the fabricated smart band module was tested at the surfaces of ice pack, desk, and hot plate with temperature in the range of 4.5 ∼ 74.1C including skin temperature around 30 ∼ 33 C. And GSR data were measured at the skin with high sensitivity and normal atmosphere to compare. Measured data from sensors were signally processed and transmitted using via Bluetooth 4.0 wireless network, so we could display successfully those data using software on the lab-top computer. In the near future, conductive yarns will be used for the interconnections instead of general Cu wires and we are going to measure the emotion change from physiological signals from human body during usual life.
