Smart wearables are revolutionizing how we monitor vital signs—bringing heart, muscle and brain activity tracking into everyday life. Imagine flexible, breathable mats enhanced with conductive nanomaterials that can detect subtle changes in your body while you work, relax or sleep. These textile-based sensors are comfortable, durable and inexpensive, making them ideal for long-term use in elderly care, rehabilitation and personal wellness. 

As our population ages and healthcare shifts beyond hospital walls, how can technology help us stay healthier, longer? Professor Hani Naguib will explore how engineering, materials science and healthcare innovation are converging to create the next generation of wearable sensors. He'll dive into the development of new materials, manufacturing platforms and the exciting progress in electrophysiological monitoring—like ECG, EMG and EEG—through soft, smart textiles.
