Wearable technologies exist in a variety of form factors to accommodate a broad range of health sensing applications. Textile-based form factors are among the most enticing because they enable the creation of self-powered large area sensing networks with multi-modal sensing capabilities. However, multiple key design challenges need to be accounted for to ensure the full wearable system is flexible, durable, and exhibits exceptional electronic device performance suitable for long-term monitoring. This presentation will discuss research efforts in developing processing and design strategies to enable a self-powered E-Textile platform for continuous wearable health monitoring. The presentation will focus specifically on work towards textile-based electrophysiological sensors and textile-integrated piezoelectric devices. The different textile design and electronic materials integration strategies that influence the performance and quality of these sensors and devices will be covered.
