The technology of wearable flexible textile-based strain sensors for monitoring multiple human motions: construction, patterning and performance

Abstract

This paper discusses the development of wearable flexible textile-based strain sensors for monitoring multiple human motions. With the growing interest in wearable technology for health and wellness, these sensors offer a non-invasive and comfortable solution for tracking movements during daily activities. The paper outlines the technology behind the sensors, including their fabrication, material selection, and sensing mechanisms. It also discusses the potential applications of these sensors in various fields such as sports, rehabilitation, and medical monitoring. The results of several studies on the performance of these sensors are presented, including their accuracy and durability. Overall, the paper highlights the potential of wearable flexible textile-based strain sensors as valuable tools for monitoring human motions and improving health outcomes. However, overall while there are many obstacles such as accuracy and reliability, calibration, durability, interference, cost, and compatibility to the widespread adoption of textile-based strain sensors, researchers and engineers are working hard to overcome these challenges and realize the full potential of this exciting technology.
