Abstract

Healthcare related smart clothes, which are in contact with almost all the surface of the skin, offer huge potential for the location of sensors for non-invasive measurements. The term “Smart Textiles” refers to a broad field of studies and products that extend the functionality and usefulness of common fabrics. In this paper, we discuss the utilization of smart textiles in healthcare.
