“…Technical developments open up new perspectives every day, for example, the use of mobile phones with GPS as a substitute for accelerometers, since subjects carry mobile phones anyway. Another example is "intelligent clothing," where sensors in the clothes provide information on temperature, pulse rate, skin resistance, and transpiration (see Solaz et al 2006). …”

“…Then the data are reviewed by technicians and physicians. Lifeshirt is a commercial product that collects, analyzes, and reports on the individual's pulmonary, cardiac, and posture data (Solaz et al, 2006). Taccini, Loriga, Dittmar, Paradiso, and Milior (2004) presented the Wealthy system, that integrates several function modules such as sensing, conditioning, preprocessing, data transmission, and remote monitoring.…”

Smart clothing is a "smart system" capable of sensing and communicating with environmental and the wearer's conditions and stimuli. A comprehensive review is presented on the research and developments related to smart clothing including technology developments, human aspects in smart clothing, and the applications. Recent smart clothing technology can be summarized as a tendency toward textilebased technology for each component: interface, communication, data management, energy management, and integrated circuits. Human aspects in smart clothing, even though some areas were not fully covered, were dealt with in terms of usability, functionality, durability, safety, comfort, and fashion. General applications of smart clothing developed so far include bio-monitoring clothing, MP3 player-adopted clothing, and photonic clothing.

“…Real-time spoken feedback at specific milestones can also be implemented (Apple Computer, 2006). Future research in textile science might include the development of "smart" fabrics and clothing ensembles that provide feedback on energy intake and energy expenditure throughout the day, giving the wearer an on-demand assessment of energy balance (Solaz et al, 2006). Further research is needed to explore the efficacy of clothing interventions to encourage physical activity among various ages and population groups.…”

This article presents a framework for considering the relevance of the physical environment to obesity. The authors adopt the notion that the “environment” constitutes the space outside the person and therefore broaden the common conceptualization of the “environment” to encompass a full spectrum from small-scale design elements to large-scale community infrastructure. An energy balance approach is also adopted. The energy balance perspective recognizes the equilibrium of food consumption and energy expenditure, rather than focusing solely on one or the other side of the equation. The authors consider how environmental characteristics present either barriers (that hinder), or supports (that promote) healthy habits. Thus, they describe a range of obesity-related environmental themes that provide opportunities for innovative collaborative research between environmental psychologists and colleagues in fields ranging from apparel design to landscape architecture. Last, conceptual and methodological considerations are briefly presented.
