“…Similarly, a smart sock was designed to provide real-time information about the health condition, including foot temperature, for patients. [89] This allows patients to manage their diet and medication accordingly. Researchers are trying to enhance the mechanical strength of the metal fibers used for temperature sensing.…”

Textronics contribute a significant part of Internet‐of‐Things (IoT), which empowers added functionalities by connecting smart clothing in a secure way for diverse applications. For the development of flexible and stretchable textile‐based electronics, a conductive material (yarn, fabric, etc.) must be used, and fabrication techniques play a vital role that significantly influences electronic textiles’ properties. Textile‐based sensors, electrodes, and other devices seem to be the favorite choice for continuous wearable monitoring due to their low cost, flexibility, and ease of embedding. Integrating smart capabilities into textiles provides substantial benefits in the fields of healthcare, sports, automobile, and military. These developments have a profound influence on the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). This Review presents an in‐depth study of the current state of the art in the area of textile‐based electronics. The design, development, and evaluation techniques are discussed. Certain limitations and research gaps are also addressed regarding this emerging field. Critically, this Review is more application focused and indicates how the recent developments in electronic textiles will soon impact our lives. As these areas have typically been neglected in previous reviews, additional knowledge to the existing literature is provided by bridging the gap between the academic research and commercialization of wearable Textronics.

“…Recently, in [ 56 ], how a thermistor chip can be embedded into the fibres of a yarn is explained, and this can be used to produce a textile or a garment. At the same time of the development of this preliminary work, a proposal of a wearable sensor-based system was introduced for foot temperature monitoring in [ 57 ]. However, it is necessary to continue with these type of projects if the final goal is to build an efficient medical device which alert diabetic patients when ulcers appear in their feet.…”

“…However, this problem is challenging enough. Trying to develop a wearable to measure foot temperature, we tested some of those sensors [ 57 ]. One possibility was the creation of a sock with thermistors because they measure well, but the problem was that they were too bulky.…”

“…Then, it is possible to propose the development of a new prototype with programmable electronic devices; they are very small and they measure well, the difficulty is that they are very small elements and it is necessary to solder wires for power and communications. Obviously, for the realization of our device, sensors of reduced size should be considered that do not cause discomfort in the person who uses them [ 57 ]. Figure 4 shows the sock developed there with eight NTC sensors located on the sole of the foot, in addition to the polymer that obtains temperatures with a thermocouple.…”

One of the diseases that could affect diabetic patients is the diabetic foot problem. Unnoticed minor injuries and subsequent infection can lead to ischemic ulceration, and may end in a foot amputation. Preliminary studies have shown that there is a positive relationship between increased skin temperature and the pre–ulceration phase. Hence, we have carried out a review on wearables, medical devices, and sensors used specifically for collecting vital data. In particular, we are interested in the measure of the foot–temperature. Since there is a large amount of this type of medical wearables, we will focus on those used to measure temperature and developed in Spain.
