Sažetak
Smart textiles are the future. Innovations in the textile and clothing sector (T&C sector) are introducing wearable technologies associated with healthcare, movement and transport. An innovation boom in the wearable textile sector has brought in a range of new products, such as smart gloves with sensors and controls, smart socks with thin blood pressure sensors and smart products that monitor stress and fatigue. Recent technological advances combine apparel technology and textile industry to develop smart wearable devices. These have the capability to interact with the user or the environment, including tracking and communicating data about the user or the environment to other devices through embedded sensors and conductive yarns. The ICT sector has been important for the T&C sector for quite some time and its importance continues to rise. The market for smart textile wearables is expected to grow at a CAGR of 132% between 2016 and 2022.
