In this short video, WTiN provides some insight into our latest report series – Smart textiles for healthcare: Parts I and II.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is poised to transform the healthcare industry. IoMT tools, such as wearable monitoring systems, can generate, collect, analyse or transmit health data, giving caregivers access to rapid diagnostic information to provide medical assessments at the point of care. These systems are facilitating a shift in healthcare from a culture of treatment towards one of prevention and early intervention.

In this two-part report, we cover the trends that are currently shaping the healthcare market and driving the demand for smarter healthcare solutions. It discusses the key technologies and application areas for wearable monitoring systems including wound care, incontinence, diabetic care, cardiovascular care, solutions specific to the elderly, and rehabilitation. Elsewhere, the report highlights commercial developments that are relevant to each application area from companies such as Carin, Hexoskin, Chronolife, Bonbouton, Siren, Xenoma, Myant, Sensoria Health and Design Partners. Innovative research developments and patents are also examined.
