A Non-Contact and Real-Time Measurement Technique of Human Body Potential Using Electrostatic Induction Current Accompanied by Human Body Motion

This paper describes a non-contact and real-time measurement technique of human body potential using ultra-sensitive electrostatic induction. When a participant moves his/her palm to a position approximately 30 cm away from an electrostatic induction sensor, electrostatic induction current flows transiently. It is clarified whether estimation of the human body potential is possible by simultaneously measuring the velocity of the participant’s palm and distance between the participant’s palm and sensor. In addition, even when the participant walks at a position approximately 50 cm away from the electrostatic induction sensor, it is confirmed that the estimation of human body potential is possible
