title = "Wearable RFID perspiration sensor tags for well-being applications – From laboratory to field use",
abstract = "RFID technology has proven to have many possibilities in sensing applications. Smart sensor solutions would be especially helpful in the health and well-being sectors. There is already research on wearable RFID-based sensors, but most are only tested in controlled laboratory environments. The emphasis of this paper is 1) to analyze the performance of two moisture sensor textile tags in realistic field use and through this 2) to discuss their application possibilities. Based on the measurement results, different kinds of textile tags were differently affected by moisture. Especially with embroidered tags the presence of moisture could be detected, including in field conditions. Many applications were also found for the tags. The results indicate potential of RFID-based sensing also in field use, but the actual use environment must be carefully taken into account when implementing the technology.",
