Abstract
From these beginnings, the scope for the potential use of smart and intelligent fabrics has widened. The development of smart textiles in the area of healthcare to aid the monitoring of soldiers upon injury quickly translated into a domestic healthcare setting, with products being developed to enable patients to be monitored remotely. These developments enabled products to be targeted toward the mass market, enabling consumers to monitor their own health through their clothing.
