چکیده
This review paper summarizes the new developments made into field of electronics and textiles. The integrated results obtained using electronics in combination with textiles gave us revolutionary ideas to make day to day life easy and monitoring it closely. In this review paper we have covered many fields where textiles sensor is used. Generally, these textiles sensors are used for monitoring healthcare e.g. in muscle activity and motion detection, detection of breathing frequency, heart rate estimator and also sweat rate detection etc. Textile sensors also contribute in sports for measuring body kinematics of athletes.These sensors are made using various electrodes, capacitance, resistance and different types of conductive yarns. Since these sensors are integrated in garments, it becomes easy to wear and is comfortable for long term use.
