These smart threads could save lives - Science Nation

The video discusses the development of biomedical textiles, focusing on wearable medical sensors made from knitted conductive materials. These sensors, supported by RFID technology, can monitor biological signals such as uterine contractions and infant respiration. The project, backed by the National Science Foundation, aims to create comfortable and effective wearable devices for high-risk pregnancies and infant care. The video highlights the importance of design and engineering in making these devices user-friendly and functional. The potential of these textiles to revolutionize healthcare by enabling remote monitoring is also explored.
