Use of Wearable Clothing in Digital Biomarkers - For Autism SpectrumDisorder Study

Abstract

This study examines if smart garment can be used as a digital biomarker device in a Austim Spectrum Disorder (ASD) clinical study. During biologoical events such as beating of the heart and contraction of muscles, produce different biomedical signals. They can be classified as permenent or induced biosignals based on their nature of existance. Permanent signals exist at all times within the body and are generated without any artificial trigger. Induced biosignals are artificially triggered. These can be measured using invasive or non-invasive. Placing a sensor on the skin surface is non-invasive and easier for the user than an invasive method of using a wire electrode. Adding electrodes and sensors onto textiles and garments is a non-invasive way of capturing and measuring biosignals (Sadat et al. 2020)....
