Abstract
Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are reshaping wearable technology by seamlessly embedding sensors, actuators, and communication systems into everyday clothing. This chapter explores their transformative role across healthcare, sports, and defense. In healthcare, e-textiles support continuous, non-invasive monitoring of vital signs, aiding chronic disease management and post-surgical care. In sports, they provide real-time feedback on performance, muscle activity, and hydration, enhancing training outcomes and reducing injury risk. In defense, smart uniforms monitor soldier health, adapt to environmental changes, and enable stealth through responsive camouflage. Despite their promise, challenges in durability, power supply, and scalability remain. As advances in materials and embedded electronics continue, e-textiles are poised to become integral to daily life, blending comfort with intelligent functionality.
