A Design Process for the Research and Development of Smart Clothes with Embedded Technologies with Potential to Enhance Quality of Life for Older People
Textiles and clothing are closely linked to furnishing and interior design. This paper considers what older people wear as an essential link to the smart home and beyond. This paper looks at a breadth of disparate emerging technologies in both textiles and clothing manufacture, and in wearable computing, that need to be understood by designers embarking on this relatively new area of interdisciplinary design. The future clothing design research and development team also needs to be conversant with health and wellness issues and the challenges of monitoring and care.
