Scope and Limitation

This study is only limited in power consumption budgets. Having very limited processing

capabilities, Smart Textile are not the equivalent of “desktops/laptops on a fabric,” restricting

significantly the range of applications that can be mapped on them. They do not have a fixed set

of characteristics, but are an active element that works with its own control and response

mechanism. The systems are neither waterproof nor weather resistant, and some, if not most, of

the costs may not be covered by one’s insurance provider. Additionally, under FDA law,

calibrations to the machine/medical device must be done yearly. This constricts the patient to a

single area. If calibrations have to be completed, the patient would have to take time off of their

day to meet with the doctor.

Scope

Offers highly conductive fabric, with excellent flexibility.

It can stored energy in a fabric.

It could continuously supply micro energy; power an electronic watch, flashlight or charge a mobile

phone and other devices that only

requeres small amount of

energy .
