Smart Fabrics and Textile-based Sensors for Continuous Health Monitoring

Abstract

Freya Michelson

Smart fabrics and textile-based sensors represent a remarkable innovation in continuous health monitoring, bridging the gap between wearable technology and everyday clothing. These advanced textiles integrate sensors and electronics into fabrics, allowing for real-time tracking of physiological parameters and offering a new dimension of health management. The development of smart fabrics and textile-based sensors has the potential to revolutionize personal health monitoring, providing continuous, non-invasive, and seamless health data collection.
