Abstract
Advanced developments in existing information technologies are extending the range of treatment and health services available at patient’s home. Recent technological advances in integrated circuits, wireless communications, and physiological sensing allow miniature, lightweight, ultra-low power, intelligent monitoring devices. A number of these devices can be integrated into clothing what opens a wide range of possibilities for health monitoring. This paper discusses existing solution in field of intelligent clothing and examines technical possibilities of integrating physiological sensors into clothing. It describes developments and trends all over the world in the areas of mobile sensors, telemedicine and smart fabrics. Finally, this paper presents the design of a health monitoring system based on sensors included in clothes.
