Robust conductive materials for medical e-garments

摘要

Researchers in Singapore say they have devised a new conductive textile which enables wearable devices to interconnect and transmit data with far more strength than existing technologies,improving the ability to conduct remote medical monitoring by healthcare professionals and family members.The team from the National University of Singapore(NUS)has developed conductive materials based on comb-shaped strips of conductive fabrics using carbon,nickel,copper,gold,silver,or titanium,attached with adhesives to the surface of a finished garment.
