“…This was the most common trend by far. It was also common that sensors were embedded in shirts at chest or abdomen level [ 21 , 49 , 59 , 65 , 69 , 84 , 85 , 94 , 108 , 113 , 123 , 142 , 143 , 151 , 235 ]. This was the location selected by 15% of the studies.…”

“…Few were the studies found in the systematic searches conducted in this review that harvested energy [ 77 , 84 , 104 ]. However, some energy harvesting techniques have been reported experimentally in other wearable systems [ 240 , 241 , 242 , 243 , 244 , 245 , 246 , 247 , 248 , 249 ].…”

“…Solar-powered systems have not been extensively explored in existing studies. As an exception, the work of Gorgutsa et al [ 84 ] presented a Received Signal Strength Indicator through standard Bluetooth protocol using a hybrid-spiral antenna made of multi-material fibers. The system was integrated into a cotton shirt.…”

“…Figure 22 shows the percentage distribution of the processing stations used in the studies selected in the systematic searches. PCs were the preferred processing stations, showing that most authors performed centralized processing, while the use of smartphones, tablets or cloud computing was not so common [ 2 , 59 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 74 , 76 , 77 , 84 , 91 , 98 , 99 , 101 , 102 , 107 , 109 , 116 , 119 , 122 , 130 , 132 , 134 , 143 , 144 , 156 ], although they were found in 30% of studies.…”

“…Regarding energy autonomy of systems, the use of energy harvesters was residual [ 84 , 104 ], which can be due to the fact that studies presented complete systems that included data transmission and processing modules. These modules are energy demanding, and therefore the use of energy harvesters can only be used as a complement, but not as the primary power source.…”

Respiratory monitoring is essential in sleep studies, sport training, patient monitoring, or health at work, among other applications. This paper presents a comprehensive systematic review of respiration sensing systems. After several systematic searches in scientific repositories, the 198 most relevant papers in this field were analyzed in detail. Different items were examined: sensing technique and sensor, respiration parameter, sensor location and size, general system setup, communication protocol, processing station, energy autonomy and power consumption, sensor validation, processing algorithm, performance evaluation, and analysis software. As a result, several trends and the remaining research challenges of respiration sensors were identified. Long-term evaluations and usability tests should be performed. Researchers designed custom experiments to validate the sensing systems, making it difficult to compare results. Therefore, another challenge is to have a common validation framework to fairly compare sensor performance. The implementation of energy-saving strategies, the incorporation of energy harvesting techniques, the calculation of volume parameters of breathing, or the effective integration of respiration sensors into clothing are other remaining research efforts. Addressing these and other challenges outlined in the paper is a required step to obtain a feasible, robust, affordable, and unobtrusive respiration sensing system.

Background The recent trends of technological innovation and widescale digitization as potential solutions to challenges in health care, sports, and emergency service operations have led to the conception of smart textile technology. In health care, these smart textile systems present the potential to aid preventative medicine and early diagnosis through continuous, noninvasive tracking of physical and mental health while promoting proactive involvement of patients in their medical management. In areas such as sports and emergency response, the potential to provide comprehensive and simultaneous physiological insights across multiple body systems is promising. However, it is currently unclear what type of evidence exists surrounding the use of smart textiles for the monitoring of physiological outcome measures across different settings. Objective This scoping review aimed to systematically survey the existing body of scientific literature surrounding smart textiles in their most prevalent form, the smart shirt, for monitoring physiological outcome measures. Methods A total of 5 electronic bibliographic databases were systematically searched (Ovid Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Excerpta Medica database, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and SPORTDiscus). Publications from the inception of the database to June 24, 2019 were reviewed. Nonindexed literature relevant to this review was also systematically searched. The results were then collated, summarized, and reported. Results Following the removal of duplicates, 7871 citations were identified. On the basis of title and abstract screening, 7632 citations were excluded, whereas 239 were retrieved and assessed for eligibility. Of these, 101 citations were included in the final analysis. Included studies were categorized into four themes: (1) prototype design, (2) validation, (3) observational, and (4) reviews. Among the 101 analyzed studies, prototype design was the most prevalent theme (50/101, 49.5%), followed by validation (29/101, 28.7%), observational studies (21/101, 20.8%), and reviews (1/101, 0.1%). Presented prototype designs ranged from those capable of monitoring one physiological metric to those capable of monitoring several simultaneously. In 29 validation studies, 16 distinct smart shirts were validated against reference technology under various conditions and work rates, including rest, submaximal exercise, and maximal exercise. The identified observational studies used smart shirts in clinical, healthy, and occupational populations for aims such as early diagnosis and stress detection. One scoping review was identified, investigating the use of smart shirts for electrocardiograph signal monitoring in cardiac patients. Conclusions Although smart shirts have been found to be valid and reliable in the monitoring of specific physiological metrics, results were variable for others, demonstrating the need for further systematic validation. Analysis of the results has also demonstrated gaps in knowledge, such as a considerable lag of validation and observational studies in comparison with prototype design and limited investigation using smart shirts in pediatric, elite sports, and emergency service populations.
