“…Slow changes of the sensors, e.g., due to washing, may lead to undetected skin infections or other problems which should have been avoided by using textile temperature sensors. This is why there is still a large amount of new results reported in the recent scientific literature [111][112][113][114][115].…”

Biosignals often have to be detected in sports or for medical reasons. Typical biosignals are pulse and ECG (electrocardiogram), breathing, blood pressure, skin temperature, oxygen saturation, bioimpedance, etc. Typically, scientists attempt to measure these biosignals noninvasively, i.e., with electrodes or other sensors, detecting electric signals, measuring optical or chemical information. While short-time measurements or monitoring of patients in a hospital can be performed by systems based on common rigid electrodes, usually containing a large amount of wiring, long-term measurements on mobile patients or athletes necessitate other equipment. Here, textile-based sensors and textile-integrated data connections are preferred to avoid skin irritations and other unnecessary limitations of the monitored person. In this review, we give an overview of recent progress in textile-based electrodes for electrical measurements and new developments in textile-based chemical and other sensors for detection and monitoring of biosignals.

“…The scientific contribution of this paper is the successful realization of a smart T-shirt with the accurate and reliable possibility of monitoring athletes' thermal status in hot conditions. In addition, the problems that occur with other wearables, smart textiles, and smart garments, such as the breaking of e-yarn [22], the need to adapt the design of the garment to the electronic components [20][21][22], accuracy compromised by hand movements or breathing [26], moisture The focus of the smart T-shirt is sequential collection of temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) values, which can be monitored via the Arduino serial monitor. This way the user's thermal state can be monitored.…”

Athletes are often subjected to a great physical strain during training and competition. Sport activities performed in hot and humid conditions may result in different heat illnesses with mild or fatal consequences. Against this background it is important to know the thermal state of athletes during physical activity. This article presents the development of a smart T-shirt for monitoring the thermal status of an athlete. The smart T-shirt was created by embedding an electronic system with temperature and humidity sensors that allows the measurement of temperature and the relative humidity of the microclimate. A smart T-shirt is comfortable, and integrated sensors and electronics do not affect wearing comfort. A good concurrence between the temperature and humidity results from using the smart T-shirt, and thus the medical device was achieved. Data obtained can be of great importance to the sports staff who will be able to monitor the athletes' thermal state during matches and competitions.

“…This resulted in a yarn with the look and feel of a normal textile. E-yarn technology has also been used to create other sensing devices such as temperature sensing E-yarns [ 26 ], acoustic sensing E-yarns [ 27 ], and light sensing E-yarns [ 28 ]. While this is not the first instance of accelerometers being used in electronic textiles [ 29 , 30 ] to the knowledge of the authors other works have not explored these E-textiles for vibration monitoring.…”

Overexposure to hand transmitted vibrations (HTVs) from prolonged use of vibrating power tools can result in severe injuries. By monitoring the exposure of a worker to HTVs, overexposure, and injury, can be mitigated. An ideal HTV-monitoring system would measure vibration were it enters the body, which for many power tools will be the palm and fingers, however this is difficult to achieve using conventional transducers as they will affect the comfort of the user and subsequently alter the way that the tool is held. By embedding a transducer within the core of a textile yarn, that can be used to produce a glove, vibration can be monitored close to where it enters the body without compromising the comfort of the user. This work presents a vibration-sensing electronic yarn that was created by embedding a commercially available accelerometer within the structure of a yarn. These yarns were subsequently used to produce a vibration-sensing glove. The purpose of this study is to characterize the response of the embedded accelerometer over a range of relevant frequencies and vibration amplitudes at each stage of the electronic yarn’s manufacture to understand how the yarn structure influences the sensors response. The vibration-sensing electronic yarn was subsequently incorporated into a fabric sample and characterized. Finally, four vibration-sensing electronic yarns were used to produce a vibration-sensing glove that is capable of monitoring vibration at the palm and index finger.
