“…Recently, passive RFID-based systems have been installed into footwear and into different types of gloves, for example, for activity monitoring, interactive learning, and for assisting in routine work tasks. [15][16][17][18] The properties of passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID technology make it an especially attractive solution to be seamlessly integrated into clothing. Passive UHF RFID tags communicate wirelessly with RFID readers, and they have a working range of several meters.…”

Previously, glove-integrated communication based on gestures, hand movement and finger touch had a complex operating system and an active power source was needed. This paper introduces batteryless and maintenance-free interface gloves. Our solution is based on passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, comprising four electro-textile antenna parts and three RFID microchips (each with a unique ID). The three RFID microchips have unique IDs, which can be activated by the gentle touch of the human finger and used to control the surrounding technology. The aim is to evaluate the reliability of different conductive materials and microchip attachment methods. The antennas are fabricated from two different materials: a stretchable and a non-stretchable commercial electro-textile. Further, two types of microchip attachment methods are used with both antenna materials: a conductive silver epoxy and embroidery with conductive multifilament silver-plated thread. The developed interface gloves are tested by six users in a home and in an office environment, where they achieve 93–100% success rates. Especially those glove interfaces with the antennas fabricated from the non-stretchable electro-textile and the antenna-microchip interconnections embroidered with conductive thread showed good read ranges (80–110 cm). The gloves also show practical functionality, when tested with a mobile reader in practical identification and access control application. These results are very encouraging, especially when considering that the interface glove, being maintenance-free and cost-effective, promises versatile and interesting applications for customizing user-friendly augmentative and alternative communication solutions, easy controlling of ambient assisted-living applications, and providing simple identification and access control for increased safety and comfort.

“…For example, imagine a system installed in footwear for location tracking and in gloves for activity monitoring [24], as well as an RFID-based fall detection monitoring system, placed into a pair of slippers [25]. WE can monitor the body status by devices that measure heart or brain activity, blood pressure, body temperature, and other body functions [26].…”

The innovative development of Wearable Electronics (WE) is creating exciting opportunities for application across many industries. Two sectors with high potential are healthcare and childcare. However, it is in these two sectors where the challenges of privacy are presumed to be of the highest. In order to ascertain the personal views of people about potential privacy problems in WE application in these two sectors, interviews with questionnaires were conducted in two different countries: Finland and the United Kingdom (UK). The results indicated that the majority of people in both countries are positive about the use of WE in healthcare and childcare environments. However, when more information is added to be read wirelessly, the attitudes become more negative. In general, the application of WE is more favorable in the UK and the reason as to the difference will make for interesting further research. Several interesting viewpoints and concerns were presented in the interviews. It can be concluded that the implementation of WE in these two sectors will require the collaboration of work on several areas and the development of versatile user studies.

“…There are many opportunities to help elders live alone in their homes with the help of WE. For example, a system has been proposed that is installed in footwear for location tracking and in gloves for activity monitoring [11], as well as an RFID-based fall detection monitoring system that includes a dual-band RFID module, placed into a pair of slippers [12]. WE allows the body status to be monitored by devices that measure heart or brain activity, blood pressure, body temperature, or other body functions [13].…”

he people feel posive about clothes used for wireless identification purposes in healthcare and childcare, but when more information tive. Several important points to consider before implementation of WE for healthcare and childcare environments were brought up. ABSTRACTThis paper starts with a literature survey that introduces the possibilities of wearable electronics (WE) in different health-care and childcare applications. Next, 24 personal interviews and an Internet forum survey were conducted in Finland about the use of WE in the applications mentioned above. According to the results, most of t ti about the person is added that can be wirelessly read, the feelings become more nega
