In recent years, the rapid advancement of technology has caused an increase in the development of wearable products. These are portable devices that can be worn by people. The main goal of these products is to improve the quality of life as they focus on the safety, assistance and entertainment of their users. The introduction of many new technologies has allowed these products to evolve into many different fields with multiple uses. The way in which the design of wearable products/devices is approached requires the study and recording of multiple factors so that the final device is functional and efficient for its user. The current research presents an in-depth overview of research studies dealing with the development, design and manufacturing of wearable products/devices and applications/systems in general. More specifically, in this review, a comprehensive classification of wearable products/devices in various sectors and applications was carried out, resulting in the creation of eight different categories. A total of 161 studies from the last 13 years were analyzed and commented on. The findings of this review show that the use of new technologies such as 3D scanning and 3D printing are essential tools for the development of wearable products. In addition, many studies observed the use of various sensors through which multiple signals and data could be recorded. Finally, through the eight categories that the research studies were divided into, two main conclusions emerged. The first conclusion is that 3D printing is a method that was used the most in research. The second conclusion is that most research directions concern the safety of users by using sensors and recording anthropometric dimensions.

“…This study found a good level of agreement between the IMU and the optical system supporting the use of IMUs for sports-related movement/rehabilitation assessment, although the paper stated that continued validation and improvement of sensor accuracy is required. Jenkins et al have investigated the use of an IMU (LSM6DSLTR) to monitor body configuration in relation to back injury risk in weightlifting exercises [ 152 ]. Taborri et al have used IMU (Invensense ICM 20948) sensors integrated with a support vector machine algorithm to identify faults (e.g., illegal running) during race walking, which has the potential to assist officials in competitions ( Figure 2 b) [ 153 ].…”

E-textiles have emerged as a fast-growing area in wearable technology for sports and fitness due to the soft and comfortable nature of textile materials and the capability for smart functionality to be integrated into familiar sports clothing. This review paper presents the roles of wearable technologies in sport and fitness in monitoring movement and biosignals used to assess performance, reduce injury risk, and motivate training/exercise. The drivers of research in e-textiles are discussed after reviewing existing non-textile and textile-based commercial wearable products. Different sensing components/materials (e.g., inertial measurement units, electrodes for biosignals, piezoresistive sensors), manufacturing processes, and their applications in sports and fitness published in the literature were reviewed and discussed. Finally, the paper presents the current challenges of e-textiles to achieve practical applications at scale and future perspectives in e-textiles research and development.

“…In this kind of system, wearable wireless devices are required to measure and collect human health parameters. Among them, the wearable antenna is an essential part of deciding the wireless communication quality [1][2][3][4][5]. The desired wearable antenna operates well when placed on the human body.…”

In this paper, a wearable dual-band T-shaped antenna using a coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed operating at 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz bands is proposed for onbody wireless communications applications. Without the metamaterial-based electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) layer, the original antenna covers two bands from 1.96 GHz to 2.77 GHz and from 5.07 GHz to 5.35 GHz. The antenna efficiency decreases when it is placed on the human arm due to the interference from the human body to the antenna, as shown by a high specific absorption rate (SAR) value. These SAR values are reduced to 77.1% at 2.4 GHz and 91.7% at 5.2 GHz by the proposed EBG. The antenna gain is therefore improved to 1.4 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 6.25 dBi at 5.2 GHz. The antenna prototype is evaluated using a Wi-Fi wearable device, resulting in an improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 6-12 dB.
