Abstract
Market projections for medical wearables and wearable technologies predict compound annual growth rates of over 25[%] and growth to a global market size of US$82 billion until 2023. While current wearable devices primarily rely on the attachment of sensors, actuators, or energy harvesters to traditional, passive textiles, the next generation of wearable devices will introduce fully integrated wearable capabilities provided by the filament and textile architecture itself.
