A system for providing a standard electrocardiogram (ECG) signal for a human body using contactless ECG sensors for outputting to exiting medical equipment or for storage or viewing on a remote device. The system comprises a digital processing module (DPM) adapted to connect to an array of contactless ECG sensors provided in a fabric or the like. A selection mechanism is embedded into the DPM which allows the DPM to identify body parts using the ECG signals of the different ECG sensors and select for each body part the best sensor lead. The DPM may then produce the standard ECG signal using the selected ECG signals for the different body parts detected. The system is adapted to continuously re-examine the selection to ensure that the best leads are selected for a given body part following a movement of the body part, thereby, allowing for continuous and un-interrupted ECG monitoring of the patient.一種使用非接觸式ECG感測器而提供人體的標準心電圖(ECG)訊號之系統,供輸出訊號至現有的醫療儀器,或供在一遠端裝置上儲存或觀看。該系統包括一數位處理模組(DPM),該數位處理模組係適於連接在織物或類似物上所設的非接觸式ECG感測器陣列。一選擇機構係嵌入該DPM以使得DPM可使用不同ECG感測器的ECG訊號來識別身體部位,並對於各個身體部位選擇最佳的感測器導程。DPM可接著使用針對偵測到的不同身體部位所選定之ECG訊號而產生該標準ECG訊號。該系統係適於連續地重新檢驗其選擇,以確保在身體部位移動之後可針對一給定的身體部位選擇最佳的導程,藉以允許連續且不間斷地對患者進行ECG監測。
