Abstract

Health and wellness have become significant trends of the 21st century, with people embracing lifestyles that prioritize physical and mental wellbeing. Continuous monitoring of vital body functions is vital for a holistic approach to wellbeing. As a result, the research and business arena of wellness devices that seamlessly integrate into modern consumers' daily lives is rapidly growing, showing promising potential. Wearable technology, incorporating micro-controllers and electronic devices on the skin or within clothing, serves as signal receptors, analytical tools, and signal transmitters for monitoring human body vitals. This study aims to develop a smart textile-based wearable platform to enable continuous monitoring of vital signs [1].
