IoT Wearable and Garments for Creating Intelligent Connected E-Textiles

Abstract:
Technology has become ubiquitous; it is all around us and is becoming part of us. Together
with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm and enabling technologies (e.g.,
Augmented Reality (AR), Cyber-Physical Systems, Artificial Intelligence (AI), block chain
or edge computing), smart wearable and IoT-based garments can potentially have a lot of
influence by harmonizing functionality and the delight created by fashion. Thus, smart
clothes look for a balance among fashion, engineering, interaction, user experience, cyber
security, design and science to reinvent technologies that can anticipate needs and desires.
Nowadays, the rapid convergence of textile and electronics is enabling the seamless and
massive integration of sensors into textiles and the development of conductive yarn. The
potential of smart fabrics, which can communicate with smart phones to process biometric
information such as heart rate, temperature, breathing, stress, movement, acceleration, or
even hormone levels, promises a new era for retail. This article reviews the main
requirements for developing smart IoT-enabled garments and shows smart clothing potential
impact on business models in the medium-term. Specifically, a global IoT architecture is
proposed, the main types and components of smart IoT wearable and garments are presented,
their main requirements are analyzed and some of the most recent smart clothing applications
are studied. In this way, this article reviews the past and present of smart garments in order to
provide guidelines for the future developers of a network where garments will be connected
like other IoT objects: the Internet of Smart Clothing.
