“…Before discussing e‐textile joining technologies, it is useful to briefly review e‐textile applications and different methods to construct e‐textiles, to understand the criteria that must be met by such joining technologies. A 2020 review of “smart electro‐clothing systems” shows that the two leading categories of commercially available e‐textiles are sports and healthcare 4 . Embedding sensors in garments can enable data collection on sports performance, for example tracking heart rate 5 .…”

Reliable connections between electronic circuits remain a challenge in electronic (e‐) textiles, where circuitry and components are embedded into clothing and other soft objects. E‐textiles that can measure physiological signals, deliver medical interventions, or act as a human‐computer interface are becoming increasingly pervasive, and the market for such products is predicted to grow dramatically in the coming years. Despite market predictions, several technical and production challenges persist, and these need to be overcome in order to realize commercial success. Challenges include a lack of standards for materials and manufacturing methods, issues with durability and washability, and incompatibility between textiles and electronic manufacturing methods. Joining technologies are a central part of this, as connecting e‐textile parts in a way that is electrically reliable and durable, without negatively impacting the form, fit, and function of a garment is challenging. This article reviews key joining technologies used in e‐textiles to date, demonstrating that few solutions have been specifically developed for e‐textile applications. Existing solutions are mostly connectors designed for use in rigid electronics, or textile closure mechanisms adapted to work with e‐textiles. A need for development of new joining technologies for e‐textiles, as well as further research into the performance of existing methods is highlighted.

Digital health principles are starting to be evident in medicine. Orthopaedic trauma surgery is also being impacted —indirectly by all other improvements in the health ecosystem but also in particular efforts aimed at trauma surgery. Data acquisition is changing how evidence is gathered and utilized. Sensors are the pen and paper of the next wave of data acquisition. Sensors are gathering wide arrays of information to facilitate digital health relevance and adoption. Early adaption of sensor technology by the nonlegacy health environment is what has made sensor driven data acquisition so palatable to the normal health care system. As it applies to orthopaedic trauma, current sensor driven diagnostics and surveillance are nowhere near as developed as in the larger medical community. Digital health is being explored for health care records, data acquisition in diagnostics and rehabilitation, wellness to health care translation, intraoperative monitoring, surgical technique improvement, as well as some early-stage projects in long-term monitoring with implantable devices. The internet of things is the next digital wave that will undoubtedly affect medicine and orthopaedics. Internet of things (loT) devices are now being used to enable remote health monitoring and emergency notification systems. This article reviews current and future concepts in digital health that will impact trauma care.

“…The same SP is automatically calculated by the Zebris system (ZSP), and it was used as the gold standard value. Based on the results of the comparison made between the two systems ( Table 5 ), the authors concluded that Sensoria smart socks are a reliable alternative to Zebris and, moreover, benefit from a lower cost [ 21 , 30 ].…”

The present paper reviews, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the most recent advances in research concerning two popular devices used for foot motion analysis and health monitoring: smart socks and in-shoe systems. The first one is representative of textile-based systems, whereas the second one is one of the most used pressure sensitive insole (PSI) systems that is used as an alternative to smart socks. The proposed methods are reviewed for smart sock use in special medical applications, for gait and foot pressure analysis. The Pedar system is also shown, together with studies of validation and repeatability for Pedar and other in-shoe systems. Then, the applications of Pedar are presented, mainly in medicine and sports. Our purpose was to offer the researchers in this field a useful means to overview and select relevant information. Moreover, our review can be a starting point for new, relevant research towards improving the design and functionality of the systems, as well as extending the research towards other areas of applications using sensors in smart textiles and in-shoe systems.
