“…The inductance, resistance at 13.56 MHz and Q factors for the NFC antennas are listed in Table I, where the quality factors of NFC antennas are calculated using (1). As the relative difference between antenna inductances is much greater than resistances, antenna A possesses the best transmission efficiency due to its large inductance and receiving surface for magnetic flux.…”

“…N recent years, great interest has been raised in integrating electronic devices, such as antennas, electrodes and sensors with daily wearables to form etextiles [1], [2]. Since clothes are the most elemental and necessary wearables in our daily life, e-textile sensing devices for personal health care have taken part in various medical applications and internet of things (IoT) [3], [4].…”

“…However, all of these sensors are powered by batteries, and the sensing data are acquired through wires and analyzed with data centers such as PCs. The extra work in sensor charging and data 1 ting.leng@manchester.ac.uk; z.hu@manchester.ac.uk) processing makes it less desirable in daily personalized healthcare. In this work, e-textile NFC antennas have been developed to be integrated with external temperature and humidity sensors in order to enable battery-free wireless sensing.…”

A battery free wearable sensing device with temperature and sweat sensors embedded into and powered by a smart textile NFC antenna available for both NFC readers and NFC enabled smart phones, which can take part in various medical applications such as daily healthcare, fever detection and wound healing monitoring. Take-Home Messages  In this manuscript, body temperature and sweat sensors are integrated with a textile NFC antenna, which eliminates the need for external batteries and realizes real-time wireless monitoring.  This paper has presented design, fabrication implementation, measurements and real-life applications of smart textile NFC antennas and a battery-free wireless NFC body temperature and sweat sensing device, aiming for truly ubiquitous wireless health and wellbeing monitoring.  The proposed device targets at body temperature and sweat loss monitoring for daily healthcare, systemic hyperthermia from fever, sweating symptoms caused by various kinds of infection, inflammation and trauma and wound healing monitoring.  Different from conventional battery enabled and wire connected sensors, the significance of this work is by applying textile NFC as a communication interface as well as a wireless power harvester, battery-free realtime body temperature and sweat monitoring has been realized simultaneously.  Apart from the device itself, an App has also been developed on Android system for the sensor data to be accessed by smart phones.

“…Smart garments are particular garments, built-at least in part-using smart textiles. " [71] Smart clothing has come a long way from "underwearables" that were first built in 1980s [54] worn within or under the normal clothing to Project Jacquard [65] proposing novel interactive textile for providing digital interactivity to every product woven from the textile. Jacquard technology has been woven into common products like jackets, backpacks and shoes [16].…”

Human Body & Clothing Badge Badge Body Fastener Fig. 1. Badge-based interaction gestures are enabled by the body of the badge and the method of attaching the badge to the clothing. In this paper, we explore input with wearables that can be attached and detached at will from any of our regular clothes. These wearables do not cause any permanent effect on our clothing and are suitable to be worn anywhere, thus making them very similar to badges we wear. To explore this idea of non-permanent badge input, we studied various methods to fasten objects to our clothing and organise them in the form of a design space. We leverage this synthesis, along with literature and existing products to present possible interaction gestures these badge-based wearables can enable.

“…Examples of such smart clothing are the Solar Dress by Paulien van Dongen [7], the closed loop smart athleisure fashion by Marina Toeters [8], and the Smart Rehabilitation Garment [9], indicating a wide applicability. The main application of smart clothing is sensor-based monitoring, such as the acquisition of vital signs in medical surveillance or the estimation of physical activity in sports [10]. With its unobtrusive character, smart clothing provides a convenient integration with the everyday life of the wearer.…”

Wearable technologies are being implemented in the health and medical context with increasing frequency. Such technologies offer valuable opportunities to stimulate self-management in these domains. In this context, engagement plays a crucial role. An engaged patient is a patient who is emotionally involved and committed to the therapy or care process. Particularly for children who have to follow some sort of therapy, engagement is important to ensure a successful outcome of the therapy. To design for engagement, a framework based on theories of motivation in child therapy was developed. This framework was applied to the design of a wearable breathing trainer for children with asthma and dysfunctional breathing. As such, the present paper provides knowledge about the implementation of theory on engagement and motivation in design. Expert and first user evaluations found that the resulting prototype is appealing, perceived as useful, and may engage children in breathing training and stimulate self-management.
