TL;DR: This feasibility study investigated unobtrusive capacitive ECG measurements in an automotive environment and found that an array of sensors is needed that can adapt to the different drivers and sitting positions.

TL;DR: It will be shown that most probably the triboelectric effects on the electrode- body interface are the main reason for artifacts, and a reduction of artifacts can only be achieved with a proper design of the electrodes-body interface.

TL;DR: A novel approach is presented for non-constrictive long-term-monitoring of respiration which could particularly become suitable for home care applications, based on textile integrated force sensors which detect expansion of the thorax during respiration and allow wireless data transmission for maximum mobility.

TL;DR: This work gives an overview about some non-contact methods for monitoring of physiological activity, in particular, ballistocardiography, capacitive ECG, Infrared Thermography, Magnetic Impedance Monitroing and Photoplethymographic Imaging.
