The current healthcare systems based on disease management are suffering from limited, delayed, and inefficient medical services, especially when confronted with the pandemic and the aging population. Health care should move from its current reactive and disease-centric system to a personalized, predictive, preventative, and participatory model with a focus on disease prevention and health promotion. Textiles have been concomitant and played a vital role in the long history of human civilization. Equipping traditional textiles with diagnostic, therapeutic, and power supply capabilities can unlock electronic textiles as a point-of-care system with incomparable wearing comfort. In this talk, I will introduce our research progress in smart textiles for biomonitoring, therapeutics, power supply, and textiles body area network for personalized health care. I will showcase the platform technologies, fabrication strategies, and clinical translation of smart textiles.
