  • Publication number: 20220386569
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a garment for measuring biological information for animals, in which the electrode portion is less likely to be displaced from the body even upon a movement of an animal and the biological information can be measured accurately, and to provide a method for measuring biological information. A garment for measuring biological information comprising a front body and a back body having a large tensile elongation EMT. Since the garment for measuring biological information has a band around a torso, it is possible to prevent the electrodes from being displaced from the body due to a movement. Further, since the connection portion between the front body and the back body of the garment for measuring biological information is made of a woven or knitted fabric that expands and contracts in the direction from the head to the tail, the electrodes are less likely to be displaced from the body even upon a great movement.

  • Patent number: 10993649
    Abstract: A biometric information presentation system that enables efficient training by obtaining biometric information without giving a subject a sense of discomfort. The biometric information presentation system uses a garment-type biometric information measuring apparatus including at least fabric having a 20% elongation stress of 20 N or less. A garment pressure of the garment-type biometric information measuring apparatus is 0.1 kPa or more and 1.5 kPa or less. A skin contact-type electrode is provided at a portion of the garment-type biometric information measuring apparatus at which a garment pressure is 0.3 kPa or more. The garment-type biometric information measuring apparatus is worn by the subject. From obtained electrocardiographic information is calculated an RRI, an indicator of parasympathetic activity and indicator of sympathetic activity.
