APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MONITORING HEALTH INDEX USING ELECTROCONDUCTIVE FIBER

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for monitoring a health index using a conductive fiber are provided to detect a user bio-signal by using the resistance of a conductive fiber which is variable according to user volume and temperature. CONSTITUTION: A bio-signal acquisition unit(10) is worn on a user body. The bio-signal acquisition unit measures a bio-signal by using a conductive fiber having resistance which is varied according to a user volume and temperature. A health index acquisition unit(20) obtains a health index by analyzing the bio-signal. The health index report unit(30) informs the user of the health index. The bio-signal includes more than one of pulse frequency, electrocardiogram, respiration rate, and temperature.
