"Metal-Woven Shirt and Smart Tattoos: Advancements in Wearable Health Technology"
A shirt woven with bands of metal textiles could improve communication for medical implants. Some implants, such as glucose monitoring sensors, require data from other parts of the body but wireless connectivity is challenging. Signals transmitted inside the body are quickly absorbed and can't travel far, while external relay systems add more hardware. The metal textiles in the shirt act as data channels, allowing for easier communication between implants and other devices.
