Types of Smart Wearables

 Near-body wearables. They are intended to be located near the body but they do not need to
contact it directly.
 On-body wearables. They are located on the body, in direct contact with the skin.
 In-body wearables. They are implanted inside the body.
 Electronic textiles. They make use of fabric or textile-based electronics and component

that most architectures divide the previously mentioned components into three layers

Body Area Network (BAN). The components of each smart garment are connected through a common
network topology characterized by providing a really short range (just enough to cover a human body)
><BANs need to be energy-efficient, since smart garments mostly rely on batteries

Personal Area Network (PAN) or Local Area Network (LAN). This network collects data from smart
garments and sends them to a cloud or remote server. An example of WPAN is Bluetooth, while WiFi is a
type of WLAN. It is also worth pointing out that at this communications layer it is possible to provide mesh
network communications so that smart garments can communicate with each other and with the objects
and machines that surround them

Wide Area Network (WAN). This is a type of network like the Internet, which covers a really wide area
thanks to the support of a distributed infrastructure. It is essential for many IoT applications, but in some
cases.

BANs need to be energy-efficient, since smart garments mostly rely on batteries

Sensing Subsystem:
Motion, gesture and position sensors

Body temperature.

Vital sign rates

Location sensors

Interaction

Environmental sensors
Surrounding objects.
