Abstract
Smart wearables and e-textiles are transforming personal technology by combining materials science, embedded computing, and wireless communication. At their core, embedded systems and microcontrollers (MCUs) enable sensing, data processing, connectivity, and user interaction within strict limits of size, power, and comfort. This work reviews the fundamentals of embedded design, including processors, memory, sensors, actuators, and architectures, while addressing challenges such as miniaturization, textile integration, durability, and data security. Popular MCU platforms are analyzed for energy efficiency, processing power, and connectivity. Power management strategies, including low-power modes and energy harvesting, are emphasized for extending battery life. The chapter also highlights emerging directions such as on-device machine learning, hybrid architectures, and flexible electronics. By integrating research and practical insights, it underscores the central role of embedded systems in enabling next-generation, intelligent, and user-centric wearable technologies.
