Highly durable, flexible, and even washable multilayer electronic circuitry can be constructed on textile substrates, using conductive yarns and suitably packaged components. Since clothes are the objects that stay closest to the human body 24 hours a day, they are the best platform to consistently measure biomedical signals without bothering wearers. Sensors are essential for all monitoring applications. Designing wearable systems for physiological and biomechanical parameters monitoring, it’s important to integrate sensors that are easy to use, comfortable to wear and minimally obtrusive.
