Smart textiles are textiles with embedded sensors that can measure and monitor physiological signals like heart rate, breathing and temperature. In our research group we aim to develop a new generation of soft, fully textile-based sensors that are breathable, washable and stretchable by embedding conductive yarns in the textile structure. By changing the knit structure, the knitted patterns can be designed such that they respond to stretch or pressure.
