Live demonstration: A wearable EIT system using active electrodes for monitoring respiration

A wearable electrical impedance tomography system for lung respiratory monitoring will be demonstrated. The system features an active electrode integrated circuit (IC) fabricated in 0.35-μm CMOS technology. The IC is mounted on a flexible printed circuit board which is then embedded in a textile belt. During the live demonstration, the belt can be put on the volunteers' chest, and through a back-end signal processing hub, the system is able to provide real-time lung respiratory images on a remote computer.
