Health and fitness are paramount in this stressful age, and technology is here to aid you in this craving. Wearable technology is now penetrating into the fabric manufacturing sector to provide consumers with smart means to keep check on their health. This new kind of technology is aided by micro-sensors embedded into the fabric itself which does all the analysis of vital body functions like heart-rate or temperature. \u00a0<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the hype about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"embedded<\/p>\n

Wearables that can track your body\u2019s vital functions are very much in trend. The development of embedded electronics that are flexible and thin can be incorporated right into the fabric of clothing, thereby increasing the possibility of developing smart active wear and health-monitoring clothing.<\/p>\n

    One example of textile embedded with electronics is the DuPont Microcircuit Materials that can be printed on the textile for smart active wear. It has thermoplastic polyurethane films printed with this material and bonded on the inside of the fitness shirt to do all the fancy health tracking. As a basic material that can be used for the manufacture of shirts, the DuPont Microcircuit has opened the arena for several vendors who can access the basics of technology to craft their own wearables through this fiber.<\/p>\n
