Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Partridge, T. J., Morris, D. E., Light, R. A., Leslie, A., Sharkey, D., Crowe, J. A., & McNally, D. S. (2020). Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants. In 2020 42nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC). https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC44109.2020.9175873

Early inter-hospital ambulance transport of premature babies is associated with more severe brain injury. The mechanism is unclear, but they are exposed to excessive noise and vibration. Smart-routing may help minimise these exposure levels and poten... Read More about Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants.

Study of Performance of Knitted Conductive Sleeves as Wearable Textile Strain Sensors for Joint Motion Tracking (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Isaia, C., McMaster, S. A., & McNally, D. (2020). Study of Performance of Knitted Conductive Sleeves as Wearable Textile Strain Sensors for Joint Motion Tracking. In 42nd Annual International Conferences of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society in conjunction with the 43rd Annual Conference of the Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Society (4555-4558). https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC44109.2020.9176429

Textile-based strain sensors combine wearability with strain sensing functionality by using only the tensile and electrical properties of the threads they are made of. In this study, two conductive sleeves were manufactured for the elbow and three fo...

Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Miller, K., Brown, L. P., & McNally, D. (2018). Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics.

Fabric sensors are made from knitted conductive yarn and can be used to measure extension in wearable technologies and composite structures. Wearable technologies have considerable potential in sport and medical applications, for example recording li... Read More about Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics.

Investigation of changes in the electrical properties of novel knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Isaia, C., McNally, D., McMaster, S. A., & Branson, D. T. (2016). Investigation of changes in the electrical properties of novel knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading. In 2016 38th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC): 16-20 Aug. 2016 (6058-6061). https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC.2016.7592110

© 2016 IEEE. Combining stainless steel with polyester fibres adds an attractive conductive behaviour to the yarn. Once knitted in such a manner, fabrics develop sensing properties that make the textiles, also known as e-textiles, suitable for smart/w...
