Health care wearables are devices that are attached to or combined with the human body to improve the health care capabilities of the human body that can be safely and adjustable according to preference. This study provided direction for future research on healthcare wearables in the field of clothing science, considering trends observed in this field from 2010 to 2019. Over the last 10 years, 812 studies have been conducted on healthcare wearables in Korea. Research has increased significantly since 2015, with a large number of articles published in this field. The research for this study was broken down into the following categories: technology development, marketing analysis, and technology analysis. The results according to the research method demonstrated that development and production methods were used most frequently, followed by trend analysis, experiment and evaluation, and survey. An analysis of keywords in the articles studied revealed that device, healthcare, big data (biometric data and database), and healthcare convergence technologies were trending. Similarly, detailed research on healthcare wearable devices and related technologies was actively being conducted. However, focusing on fiber, textiles, design, and clothing articles, in relation to the field of clothing in healthcare wearables, only 81 articles were found on this topic (10.0%), which was low compared to other studies. Therefore, it was determined that more research on healthcare wearables is necessary in the field of clothing.

We presented the modified decal-transfer lithography (DTL) and light stamping lithography (LSL) as new powerful methods to generate patterns of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) on the substrate. The microstructures of PDMS fabricated by covalent binding between PDMS and substrate had played as barrier to locally control wettability. The transfer mechanism of PDMS is cohesive mechanical failure (CMF) in DTL method. In the LSL method, the features of patterned PDMS are physically torn and transferred onto a substrate via UV-induced surface reaction that results in bonding between PDMS and substrate. Additionally we have exploited to generate the patterning of rhodamine B and quantum dots (QDs), which was accomplished by hydrophobic interaction between dyes and PDMS micropatterns. The topological analysis of micropatterning of PDMS were performed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the patterning of rhodamine B and quantum dots was clearly shown by optical and fluorescence microscope. Furthermore, it could be applied to surface guided flow patterns in microfluidic device because of control of surface wettability. The advantages of these methods are simple process, rapid transfer of PDMS, modulation of surface wettability, and control of various pattern size and shape. It may be applied to the fabrication of chemical sensor, display units, and microfluidic devices.

Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method for monitoring how much oxygenated hemoglobin is present in the blood. The principle of pulse oximetry is based on the red infrared light adsorption characteristics of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Even through the convenience of a pulse oximeter, its weak signal-to-noise ratio against motion artifacts and low perfusion makes it difficult to be accepted by execs devices. Several researchers have suggested the use of an adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) algorithm. They have demonstrated that ANC is feasible for reducing the effects of motion artifacts. Masimo Corporation developed a discrete saturation transformation (DST) algorithm that uses a reference signal and ANC. In commercial devices, it is very hard to escape it because Masimo's patents are very powerful and a better method is yet to be developed. This study proposes a new method that can measure noise saturation as well as accurate oxygen saturation from signals with high motion artifacts without using ANC and DST. The proposed algorithm can extract a normal signal without noise from a signal with motion artifacts. The reference signal from a pulse oximeter simulator was used for the evaluation of our proposed algorithm and achieved good results.

Generally, a thermistor made by sintering a metal oxide is widely used to measure the ambient temperature. This thermistor is widely used not only for industrial use but also for medical use because of its excellent sensitivity, durability, temperature change characteristics and low cost. In particular, the normal body temperature is 36.9 degrees relative to the armpit temperature, and it is most closely related to the circulating blood flow. Previous studies have shown that body temperature changes during biomechanical changes and body temperature changes by anomalous signs or illnesses. Therefore, in this study, we propose a Lock-In-Amp design to detect minute temperature changes of clothing and thermistor wired by a preacher as a method to regularly measure body temperature in daily life. Especially, it is designed to measure the minute resistance change of the thermistor according to body temperature change even in a low-cost microprocessor environment by using a micro-processor-based Lock-In-Amp, and a jacquard and the thermistor is arranged so as to be close to the side, so that the reference body temperature can be easily measured. The temperature was measured and stored in real time using short-range wireless communication for non - restraint temperature monitoring. A baby vest was made to verify its performance through temperature experiments for infants. The measurement of infant body temperature through the existing skin sensor or thermometer has limitations in monitoring infant body temperature for a long time without restriction. However, it can be overcome by using the embroidery fabric based micro temperature monitoring wireless monitoring device proposed in this study.

Today, graphene loaded textiles are being considered promising smart clothing due to their high conductivity. In this study, we reported reduced graphene oxide(r-GO) deposited pure cotton fabrics fabricated with a colloidal solution of graphene(GO), using a one-step aerosol spray pyrolysis(ASP) process and their potential application on smart textiles. The ASP process is advantageous in that it is easily implementable and can be applied for continuous processing. Moreover, this process has never been applied to deposit r-GO on pure cotton fabric. The field emission-scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) observation, Fourier transform-infrared(FT-IR) analysis, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis, and ultraviolet transmittance(UVT) were used to evaluate material properties of the r-GO colloids. The resistance was also measured to evaluate the electrical conductivity of the specimens. The results revealed that the r-GO was successfully deposed on specimens, and the specimen with the highest electrical conductivity demonstrated an electrical resistance value of 2.27 kΩ/sq. Taken together, the results revealed that the ASP method demonstrated a high potential for effective deposition of r-GO on cotton fabric specimens and is a prospect for the development of conductive cotton-based smart clothing. Therefore, this study is also meaningful in that the ASP process can be newly applied by depositing r-GO on the pure cotton fabric.

본 연구는 EMG(electromyography) 텍스타일 전극 개발을 목적으로 레이어 수의 디자인 및 원단을 다르게 하여 성능 및 신호 획득 안정성을 평가한다. 레이징 및 프레스 공정을 통하여 텍스타일 전극을 제조하며 Layer-0, Layer-1, Layer-2로 레이어 유무 및 수에 따른 결과를 분석했다. 이에 레이어 유무에 따라서는 근활성 측정에 영향을, 수가 많을수록 높은 성능이 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. Layer-2 구조로 통일하여 5가지의 원단(네오프렌, 스판덱스 쿠션, 폴리에스테르 100%, 나일론 스판덱스, 광목 캔버스)으로 전극을 제조해 실험해 보았다. 성능적인 면에서, 원단의 중량이 높은 나일론 스판덱스가 높은 성능을 보였으며, 스판쿠션 텍스타일 전극이 근활성도 수득에 높은 안정성을 보였다. 이에 위 연구는 레이어에 따른 성능 연관성과 전극-피부사이의 닿는 면적 간의 관계 등을 고찰하여 슬리브 전체의 의복압을 늘리는 대신 특정 센서 측정 부위에만 높은 압력을 가함으로 차후 연구에서 레이어의 수 및 물성에 따른 전극의 공학적 설계 가능성을 제시한 의의가 있다.
