“New and innovative developments bolster the well-being of people. Now a team of EU-funded researchers has succeeded in embedding sensing devices directly into textiles to create garments that are not only comfortable and practical to wear, but also smart. The devices will help physicians keep an eye on their patients. Healthwear (’Remote health monitoring with wearable non-invasive mobile system’) was supported with EUR 990 000 by the EU’s eTEN programme. The collaborative project targeted the delivery of a service that provides uninterrupted and ubiquitous monitoring of the health condition of people during their rehabilitation phase.”
