Disclosed herein are devices (e.g., clothing, including but not limited to shirts, pants, etc.) for detecting and monitoring physiological parameters such as respiratory, cardiac parameters, etc. Physiological parameter monitoring garments having sensors formed from printed conductive ink on a compression garment, the sensors arranged and configured for robust sensing and comfortable wear are described herein. In particular, the garments described herein (e.g., shirts, pants, undergarments) are configured to allow robust sensing of one or more physiological parameters using conductive ink sensors printed directly onto the garment and connected by conductive traces (which may or may not be reinforced on the garment) to an interface region of the garment that is connectable to an analysis unit, e.g., a microprocessor configured to measure, store, process and/or transmit the recorded parameters. |
