“…Primary advances in e-textiles have been in healthcare and monitoring applications. Large multi-lab studies like ProeTEX [96] and MyHeart [97] have led the field in integration. Signal quality has generally been the primary consideration while user comfort and sensor integration have been secondary.…”

Electronic textiles have potential for many practical uses in clinical rehabilitation. This scoping review appraises recent and emerging developments of textile-based sensors with applications to rehabilitation. Contributions published from 2009 to 2013 are appraised with a specific focus on the measured physiological or biomechanical phenomenon, current measurement practices, textile innovations, and their merits and limitations. While fabric-based signal quality and sensor integration have advanced considerably, overall system integration (including circuitry and power) has not been fully realized. Validation against clinical gold standards is inconsistent at best, and feasibility with clinical populations remains to be demonstrated. The overwhelming focus of research and development has been on remote sensing but the opportunity for textile-mediated feedback to the wearer remains unexplored. Recommendations for future research are provided.

Abstract-The emergence of wearable sensor mobile technologies can have a great change to the conventional healthcare systems improving the quality of life for patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) or heart disease. Our main aim is to build a simple yet accurate mobile application that is capable of real-time monitoring of patients with CAD which is a major cause of death worldwide. Most available mobile healthcare systems focus on the data acquisition part with little attention paid to facilitating real-time. In this work, we build a real-time monitoring application that continuously monitors CAD patients and raises an alarm whenever an emergency occurs. The proposed system is of a light weight, low price and very reliable in the detection of heart problems based on reasoning and computational algorithms. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed system, we conducted two extensive experiments for real and simulated scenarios. Our results show that the proposed monitoring system provides a 100% detection rate.Index Terms-Coronary artery disease, heart disease monitoring, wearable sensors, mobile application.

“…Currently EBI technology allows non-invasive monitoring of the respiration cycle by measuring impedance changes across the thorax, cardiac cycle dynamics by measuring changes in the impedance caused by circulating blood across main arteries as well as assessment of body composition and body fluid distribution by measuring EBI at several frequencies. All these current uses of EBI measurements open for several potential textileenabled applications within PHM, like Heart Failure management home-bounded patients aimed by the EU-FP7 MyHeart Project (Habetha, 2006). Even though EBI technology is a clear beneficiary of textile-based electrode technology and despite the fact that EBI-enabled wearable physiological measurements is not a new concept, NASA already in 1969 implemented it during the Apollo XI mission, the potential provided by textile electrodes is not fully exploited in EBI technology.…”
