ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the development of fabric-integrated wearable electronic products for the use of wearable mobihealth care system, smart clothes for ambulatory remote monitoring, electronic jerkin, heating gloves and pneumatic gloves. There is a brief discussion on product design and integration of electronic circuits, and the products discussed in this chapter are electronic jerkin, pneumatic gloves and heating gloves. Many researchers and scientists around the globe are trying to improve the design concept of wearable electronics products and their comfort level to wearers based on functional end uses. These kinds of efforts may bring wearable products in aesthetic and long service point of view. Heating gloves, in particular, will be very useful for defence personnel who are work under extreme climate conditions, and for physically challenged people, pneumatic gloves have been designed to enable them to lead a normal life.
