Role of IoT in healthcare using smart textiles

Smart-Textile is an upcoming and latest technology that combines research in textile materials and wireless sensor/actuator networks. This is primarily in the context of human body monitoring with statistical methods for the data analysis and corresponding treatment. The scope of IoT in Healthcare has a diverse range of enhancements with Textile-based Wearable System Technology, Unobtrusive Biosensors, and a Cloud Computing Architectural Framework amongst other technologies. The advancement would propel the HealthCare Industry to unparalleled heights in terms of efficiency and Patient Comfort. This ground-breaking technology of smart textiles embedded with sensors for continuous patient monitoring will revolutionize the healthcare industry. The real-time exchange of data, seamlessly and proactively predict, diagnosis and provide remedies. The framework in the study reveals aptly the so-called Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) which opens a whole new avenue for the Patient-Healthcare provider Interface (PHI) and Wearable Health Technology (WHT).
