T1 - Heart rate sensor for integration into personal protective equipment N2 - This paper reports on a fibre optic sensor for heart rate measurement which is developed within the framework of the FP7 EU project i-Protect. Goal is integration of the sensor into personal protective equipment Two different sensor prototypes based on polymer optical fibre (POF) were developed. One is based on long period gratings in microstrutured POF and the other one is based on macrobending effects in POF.

T1 - Smart medical textiles with embedded optical fibre sensors for continuous monitoring of respiratory movements during MRI N2 - We report on three respiration sensors based on pure optical technologies developed during the FP6 EU project OFSETH. The developed smart medical textiles can sense elongation up to 3%, while maintaining the stretching properties of the textile substrates for a good comfort of the patient. The sensors, based on silica and polymer fibre, are developed for monitoring of patients during MRI examination. The OFSETH harness allows a continuous measurement of respiration movements while all vitals organs are free for medical staff actions. The sensors were tested in MRI environment and on healthy adults.

T1 - Investigation of sensing properties of long period gratings based on microstructured polymer optical fibres N2 - We investigated the sensing properties of a single mode Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibre (MPOF) with mechanically imprinted Long Period Grating (LPG). We measured the influence of strain to the LPG wavelength which showed the viscoelastic nature of PMMA. We also measured the influence of temperature and humidity to the LPG wavelength.
