Abstract-This paper presents a novel design of wearable radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor patch make of conductive fabric and integrated on clothes. The wearable RFID with similar design is also implemented on a Polyimide (PI) substrate to show the effectiveness of the system. We also demonstrate the wearable and washable RFID patch by using conductive fabric coil antenna as well as non-conductive fabric substrate. The conductive fabric offers great flexibility and comfortability as it can be sewed into clothes and connect the components of the patch. As a proof of concept, we developed the conductive fabric based RFID for temperature sensing and demonstrate its use by measuring variations in the skin temperature. We observed that the proposed antenna is strain independent during bending. Further, it has the advantage of simplicity and is relatively free from issues such as degradation of performance.

“…These Nanogenerators work in a non-contact mode relying on air pressure [152] and thus can be used as ultrasensitive sensors for performing medical diagnostics and as measurement tools. The fiber was also integrated with computer [153], naming Planar Fashionable Circuit boards (P-FCB) for sweat monitoring using RFIP tag antennas. P-FCBs were also associated with ECG monitoring [154], physiological signal monitoring [155] and as a health monitoring system [156,157].…”

Abstract-The paper provides a review on some of the significant research work done on wearable flexible sensors (WFS). Sensors fabricated with flexible materials have been attached to a person along with the embedded system to monitor a parameter and transfer the significant data to the monitoring unit for further analyses. The use of wearable sensors has played a quite important role to monitor physiological parameters of a person to minimize any malfunctioning happening in the body. The paper categorizes the work according to the materials used for designing the system, the network protocols and different types of activities that were being monitored. The challenges faced by the current sensing systems and future opportunities for the wearable flexible sensors regarding its market values are also briefly explained in the paper.

“…Such surface structure is highly unfavorable for direct conductive printing on textile since ink will not be distributed evenly across the surface; thus, proper linking will not occur and reasonable conductivity will not be achieved. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. In their research work, very fine -tex 4.4 and highly dense -500 threads/0.1m polyester fabric was used.…”

“…Discrete components can be bonded to the layout to complete the device production cycle. However, due to high surface roughness and porosity of most of the textiles, the direct conductive printing is feasible only on very dense and tightly interwoven fabrics [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

A WiFi Tracking Device Printed Directly on Textile for Wearable Electronics Applications Bauyrzhan KrykpayevWearable technology is quickly becoming commonplace in our everyday life -fitness and health monitors, smart watches, and Google Glass, just to name a few. It is very clear that in near future the wearable technology will only grow. One of the biggest wearable fields is the E-textiles. E-textiles empower clothes with new functionality by enhancing fabrics with electronics and interconnects. The main obstacle to the development of E-textile field is the relative difficulty and large tolerance in its manufacturing as compared to the standard circuit production. Current methods such as the application of conductive foils, embroidering of conductive wires and treatment with conductive coatings do not possess efficient, fast and reliable mass production traits inherent to the electronic industry. On the other hand, the method of conductive printing on textile has the potential to unlock the efficiency similar to PCB production, due to its roll-to-roll and reel-to-reel printing capabilities. Furthermore, printing on textiles is a common practice to realize graphics, artwork, etc. and thus adaptability to conductive ink printing will be relatively easier. Even though conductive printing is a fully additive process, the end circuit layout is very similar to the one produced via PCB manufacture. However, due to high surface roughness and porosity of textiles, efficient and reliable printing on textile has remained elu-
