“…A good option is to use conductive fabric yarns as the alternative conductive medium. These fabrics can be easily integrated into clothing to communicate with textile embedded sensors [ 183 , 184 , 185 ]. As discussed earlier, the conductive fabric can be fabricated using conventional textile technologies such as weaving, stitching, embroidery, and printing.…”

Life expectancy in most countries has been increasing continually over the several few decades thanks to significant improvements in medicine, public health, as well as personal and environmental hygiene. However, increased life expectancy combined with falling birth rates are expected to engender a large aging demographic in the near future that would impose significant burdens on the socio-economic structure of these countries. Therefore, it is essential to develop cost-effective, easy-to-use systems for the sake of elderly healthcare and well-being. Remote health monitoring, based on non-invasive and wearable sensors, actuators and modern communication and information technologies offers an efficient and cost-effective solution that allows the elderly to continue to live in their comfortable home environment instead of expensive healthcare facilities. These systems will also allow healthcare personnel to monitor important physiological signs of their patients in real time, assess health conditions and provide feedback from distant facilities. In this paper, we have presented and compared several low-cost and non-invasive health and activity monitoring systems that were reported in recent years. A survey on textile-based sensors that can potentially be used in wearable systems is also presented. Finally, compatibility of several communication technologies as well as future perspectives and research challenges in remote monitoring systems will be discussed.

To improve comfort conditions of the enuresis alarm system, modular humidity sensor should be replaced by textile sensor. During research woven textile moisture sensor was developed and first experiments of signal detection speed were performed. Washed and unwashed samples were tested from both sides of sensor. Measurements of electrical signals were performed with oscilloscope. It is important to know what the actual resistance of a wet sensor is in order to design a proper electrical circuit that controls the state of the sensor. Acquired values of electrical resistance will be used in further sensor circuit design for developing enuresis alarm system prototype. During the design of moisture sensor it is necessary to take into consideration position of electrodes depending on sensor’s configuration and characteristics of textile wettability and moisture management.

“…8,9 When previous studies were examined, it is seen that lock stitch and zigzag stitch are the commonly used stitch types for the smart applications. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Parkova et al studied electrical behavior of different conductive yarns in sewn and un-sewn form to define their suitability for specific applications and used lock stitch for sample production. 10 Saenz-Cogollo et al presented the development of a mat-like pressure mapping system based on a single layer textile sensor using lock stitch.…”

Wearable electronics, wearable devices, and wearable technology concepts are gaining more importance day by day. With the developments in conductive and electronic industry which can be used in the clothing manufacturing, smart garments category look set to expand in terms of wearable offerings. There are different pathways to make a garment smart and, in all circumstances, there is a need for a path for connection between conductive components. This could be provided by cables conventionally or conductive paths can be utilized. Usually conductive fabrics, conductive printing and conductive yarns are used to create conductive paths. When using conductive yarns sewing is the most preferred technique for both electronic component and conductive path production. In this study, conductive paths are generated using different conductive yarns, stitch types, stitch densities, and thread positions and the effect of these parameters on electrical resistance values were investigated. Results showed that conductive thread type, stitch density, and conductive thread position are significant factors on electrical resistance values.
