During the last decade, research has focused on developing new personal equipment to protect workers, soldiers, firefighters and other professionals often exposed to hazardous situations. Getting real-time information about a person's health, his environment, or even the state of his protective equipment can be essential for both the worker and his team in order to make relevant strategic decisions. In this chapter, several types of textile monitoring sensors, including electrocardiographic, respiratory, temperature and humidity sensors will be discussed as well as various ways to connect and power them, extract and transmit the data to an external device. The last section will be dedicated to end-life indicators to monitor any degradation of PPE. |
