ADVANCED MATERIALS FOR HEALTHCARE
Smart and interactive textiles have a high potential in biomedical research and are a relatively new subject of learning. Smart textile materials are an example
in which the incorporation of smart devices may recognize, record and transmit basic data to the target authority. These devices can be used for observation and recording of heart activity, body temperature, breathing rate, etc. data, which later can be transferred through the Internet, mobile or any other accessible media to the emergency/health centre [1]. Clothing can predict muscular overload and stress meditations, which aid in the prevention of strain injuries, monitor babies' heart beats, and evaluate biochemical signals of fluid generated in daily activities or when involved in physical exercise [2]. The capability of smart fabrics to interact with the body provides a technique for determining the wearer's physiology and adjusting to the wearer's requirements. Smart clothing can provide a customised solution by increasing awareness of individual health status and encouraging people to take a more effective role in their individual health care. Smart clothing can help clinicians make more accurate diagnoses by preserving a digital record. Nowadays, to meet various health purposes, wearable medical devices can be wrapped in cloth [3]. Medical engineering incorporates the expertise of engineers, scientists, and physicians [4, 5].
