Abstract

The purpose of this study is for fundamental research of meditation smart wear for physical and mental healing, and researching method for monitoring phase of meditation through textile by measuring the number of abdominal respiration when meditating. For this purpose, the research implemented Single Wall Carbon Nano-Tube (SWCNT) based strain gauges type textile sensor, considered reliability and validity of respiratory sensing, and analyzed efficiency of respiratory sensing based on body parts comparatively. The first preliminary experiment was to evaluate the performance of textile sensor through abdominal model dummy which open and shut of 5 cm repeatedly for 2 minutes at the rate of 0.1Hz in order to simulate abdominal respiration. It concluded signal efficiency between reference sensor(BIOPAC) and textile respiratory sensor appears statistically significant (p<0.001). The second experiment were conducted with 4 subjects doing abdominal respiration under same conditions, and after comparing the signal values between two sensors from 4 attached locations(around center and sides of omphali and phren), center of omphali and sides of phren were selected as suitable location for measuring meditational breathing as they showed large and stable signals. In result, this research aimed for implementing of the textile sensor for sensing meditational breathing of long respiration cycle, review of reliability and validity for sensing number of meditational respiration with the sensor and consideration of sensing efficiency by sensing location on body parts.

본 연구의 목적은 정신적, 신체적 힐링을 위한 명상용 스마트 의류 개발을 위한 기초연구로서 명상 시 복식호흡 수를 측정함으로써, 의복을 통해 명상의 진입상태를 모니터링 하기 위한 방법을 연구하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 Single Wall Carbon Nano-Tube (SWCNT)를 기반으로 한 스트레인 게이지 타입의 직물센서를 구현하고, 1차 실험으로 0.1 Hz의 주기로 복부형태의 더미를 5 cm 길이로 2분간 개폐를 반복하여 명상호흡을 시뮬레이션 한 결과 참조전극인 BIOPAC과 직물호흡센서의 신호가 매우 높은 일치도를 나타냈다(p<0.001). 같은 조건으로 2차 본 실험에서 피험자 4명에게 명상호흡을 수행하도록 하였고, 배꼽점, 횡경막 부근 중심과 측면 총 4군데 위치에서 출력된 전압 값을 비교한 결과 배꼽점 중심 위치와 횡경막 측면에서 신호의 일치도가 높고, 크고 안정된 신호형태를 보여 명상호흡을 측정하기에 적합한 위치로 선정되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 긴 호흡주기의 명상호흡을 측정하기 위한 직물센서를 구현하고, 이 센서의 명상 호흡수 측정을 위한 신뢰성과 타당성을 검토하며, 인체 상 측정위치에 따른 호흡 수 측정효율을 비교, 고찰하는 것을 목표로 하였다.
