본 연구의 목적은 스마트 헬스케어를 위해 접촉식 직물전극의 구조가 심장활동 신호 획득에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 심장활동 신호 측정을 위하여 전극의 크기와 구성방식을 조작한 6종의 접촉식 직물전극을 컴퓨터 자수 방식으로 구현하였고, 이를 가슴밴드에 부착하여 응용형 리드 II(modified Lead II) 방식으로 심장활동 신호를 검출하였다. 건강한 신체의 남성 4명을 대상으로 서서 정지한 자세에서 각 직물전극을 사용하여 심장활동 신호를 검출하였으며, 모든 유형의 전극에 걸쳐 4회씩 반복측정 하였다. 심장활동 신호의 수집을 위해 BIOPAC ECG100 장비를 사용하여 1 ㎑로 샘링하였으며, 검출된 원 신호를 대역통과 필터를 사용하여 필터링하였다. 직물전극의 구조에따른 심장활동 신호 획득의 성능을 비교하기 위하여 신호의 파형과 크기를 파라미터로 하여 정성적 분석을 실시였고, 각 전극을 통하여 획득된 심장활동 신호의 SPR(signal power ratio)을 산출함으로써 정량적 분석을 실시하였다. 산출된 SPR 값을 대상으로 하여 비모수 통계분석 방식의 차이검정과 사후검정을 실시함으로써 6개 전극의 구조에 따른 심장활동 신호 획득의 성능 차이를 구체적으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 접촉식 직물전극의 구조에 따라 심장활동 신호의 품질에는 정성적, 정량적 측면에 걸쳐 모두 주요한 차이가 있는 것이 고찰되었다. 접촉식 직물전극의 구성 측면에 있어서는 입체극이 평면극에 비해 더 우수한 품질의 신호가 검출되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 3가지 전극 크기에 따른 심장활동 신호 획득의 유의한 성능 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 심장활동 신호 획득을 위한 접촉식 직물전극 구조의 두 가지 요건 구성방식(평면/입체)이 웨어러블 헬스케어를 위한 심장활동 신호 획득의 성능에 주요한 영향을 미치는 것을 시사한다. 본 연구 결과를 기반으로 후속 연구에서는 직물전극이 일체형으로 통합된 의복형 랫폼을 구하고 성능 고도화 방안을 연구함으로써, 시공간의 제약 없이 고품질의 심장활동 모니터링이 가능한 스마트 의류 기술을 개발하고자 한다.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of contact type textile electrode structure on heart activity signal acquisition for smart healthcare. In this study, we devised six contact type textile electrodes whose electrode size and configuration were manipulated for measuring heart activity signals using computerized embroidery. We detected heart activity signals using a modified lead II and by attaching each textile electrode to the chest band in four healthy male subjects in a standing static posture. We measured the signals four times repeatedly for all types of electrodes. The heart activity signals were sampled at 1 ㎑ using a BIOPAC ECG100, and the detected original signals were filtered through a band-pass filter. To compare the performance of heart activity signal acquisition among the different structures of the textile electrodes, we conducted a qualitative analysis using signal waveform and size as parameters. In addition, we performed a quantitative analysis by calculating signal power ratio (SPR) of the heart activity signals obtained through each electrode. We analyzed differences in the performance of heart activity signal acquisition of the six electrodes by performing difference and post-hoc tests using nonparametric statistic methods on the calculated SPR. The results showed a significant difference both in terms of qualitative and quantitative aspects of heart activity signals among the tested contact type textile electrodes. Regarding the configurations of the contact type textile electrodes, the three-dimensionally inflated electrode (3DIE) was found to obtain better quality signals than the flat electrode. However, regarding the electrode size, no significant difference was found in performance of heart signal acquisition for the three electrode sizes. These results suggest that the configuration method (flat/3DIE), which is one of the two requirements of a contact type textile electrode structure for heart activity signal acquisition, has a critical effect on the performance of heart activity signal acquisition for wearable healthcare. Based on the results of this study, we plan to develop a smart clothing technology that can monitor high-quality heart activity without time and space constraints by implementing a clothing platform integrated with the textile electrode and developing a performance improvement plan.
