Developments of biomedical garments performing such improved functions like remote monitoring of physiological parameters are already being in use in healthcare sphere as an auxiliary device for patient control and diagnostics. Most of the recent researches perform examination of cardiovascular parameters by electrocardiography (ECG). Another promising method of registration and control of systemic hemodynamic parameters is photoplethysmography (PPG). A prototype of a bandage has been developed with an innovative PPG device integrated into a garment. The paper performs description of method of PPG optical sensor integration into textiles and evaluation of the prototype registered data (heart rate, R-R intervals) in baseline condition and motion.
