Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for monitoring physiological parameters comprising a harness adapted to be worn by a human being and electrical circuitry connected to the harness for calculating physiological parameters in accordance with predetermined algorithms. The harness includes a band which extends around a trunk portion of the human being. The band comprises an inelastic portion and an elastic portion. The elastic portion incorporates an electro-conductive elastomeric means which has a resistance value which changes as a function of elongation of the elastic portion. The electrical circuitry connected to the elastomeric element calculates and displays various physiological parameters.
