A textile fabric including a plurality of electrically conductive fibers and at least one electronic sensor or a plurality of sensing fibers. The textile fabric is intended for fabrication into a functional article of clothing or other item made of the woven textile fabric, so as to increase functionality of the article of clothing or item made thereof. The fabric is intended to assist a wearer in the monitoring of biomedical information and/or environmental conditions existent upon the wearer. The plurality of electrically conductive fibers and sensing devices are characterized as creating an interconnect to a portable electronic monitoring device, integrated components such as heating and cooling bands, electronics, or the like, or for serving as an antenna for signals received and transmitted between an integrated electronic component and a remote monitoring device.
A textile fabric fabricated into a functional article of clothing and including at least one means for sensing communicative information and a plurality of electrically conductive fibers, the at least one means for sensing communicative information and the plurality of electrically conductive fibers woven orthogonal to each other to create a textile fabric composed of the at least one means for sensing communicative information and the plurality of electrically conductive fibers interwoven into a grid system, in combination the at least one means for sensing communicative information and the plurality of electrically conductive fibers characterized as sensing communicative information and providing an interconnect for the transmission of sensed communicative information.
