Contactless sensors
for body monitoring incorporated in textiles
Consortium
The ConText consortium contains 6 partners, two from industry (Philips and Clothing+), two industrial research institutes (TNO and TITV) and two universities (KUL and TUB). One of the partners, TITV, is an SME. Each of the partners has world-class knowledge in either electronics, textiles or human movement sciences. Philips contributes expertise on sensors and data processing, as well as project management. KUL has broad experience in electromyography measurements and muscle activity and stress assessment algorithms. TNO has capabilities in printing conductive inks on textiles and on clothing confection. TITV will contribute expertise on weaving conductive yarns into fabrics and TUB has knowledge on interconnecting electronic components to these conductive substrates. Clothing+ has the knowledge on the applications and market opportunities for electronic textiles.
