Welcome to the ConText website

The ConText project is an Specific Targeted REsearch Project (STREP), funded by the IST program of the European Commission's 6th Framework. ConText has started on January 2006, and has finished on January 2009.

The objective of the project was to create a system where different types of sensors are incorporated into textiles to be used in continuous monitoring of individuals. Contact less sensors have been developed for the purpose of measuring electromyography and electrocardiography signals. The sensors were integrated into textile to realise a prototype of a wearable vest. The combination of textile integration and signal processing of the myographic signals will push the development of personalised health applications.
