Smart Textiles for Health Monitoring

Smart textiles for health monitoring are innovative fabrics embedded with sensors and conductive fibers that can track various physiological parameters, such as heart rate, body temperature, respiration, and movement. These textiles are designed to be comfortable and wearable, integrating seamlessly into everyday clothing or specialized garments, making them ideal for continuous, real-time health monitoring without the need for intrusive devices. Applications include managing chronic conditions, enhancing athletic performance, monitoring elderly patients, and supporting post-operative care. By providing valuable health data, smart textiles empower individuals and healthcare providers to make informed decisions, improving patient outcomes and enabling proactive health management.
