Abstract

With the intensification of the global ageing population, the consumption needs of the elderly are gradually being taken seriously. Against the backdrop of strengthening health awareness, Chinese residents’ per capita healthcare consumption expenditure continues to increase. It is urgent to develop smart clothing that meets the consumption needs of the elderly.

Smart clothing, as a new trend in the electronics and computer industries, has emerged - designing high-tech products that can be integrated with clothing. Among them, medical smart clothing is a vital application direction, gradually develo** into an emerging health monitoring technology. For example, physiological monitoring smart clothing can monitor physiological indicators of the human body, such as heart rate, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, pressure, and electromyographic signals.

This study analyzed the current application status of smart clothing in health monitoring, focusing on market size, technological innovation, application areas, brand competition, and development trends. Meanwhile, this study explored the promotion and application prospects of smart clothing in an ageing society, summarized the problems faced by smart clothing for the elderly, and looked forward to the future development trends of smart clothing for the elderly. In addition, to understand Chinese consumers’ expectations for healthy smart clothing, a questionnaire survey was conducted. The collected data were analyzed to determine the demand and expectations of the Chinese elderly for health smart clothing.

In summary, the development of health smart clothing requires attention to technological innovation, intelligent design, customized services, brand building, cross-border cooperation, and compliance with regulations and standards.
