SUTD researchers developed a knitted, circuit-embedded knee wearable for real-time wireless sensing of joint motion, offering a novel solution for continuous monitoring of mobility-related conditions. This device, less prone to errors and with fewer external components, is designed for daily wear, enhancing comfort and functionality. It is particularly useful in medical fields for early diagnosis and management of conditions leading to mobility decline. The integration of sensors and electronics directly into the fabric represents a significant advancement in wearable technology. This innovation could revolutionize how athletes and the elderly monitor their health, enabling early intervention.
