Disclosed herein is a flexible and soft material-based pressure sensor and/or switch assembly that can be used for soft goods as a soft switch. The material selection and design enhances the maximum bending ability and squeezing ability of the pressure sensor/switch and the sensor/switch is made to withstand heavy washes while maintaining its functionality of switching with a light touch based on the use of a waterproof stacking assembly that contains a piezoresistant material, electrodes and other components.

Wearable touch button assembly

A garment () for use in system for monitoring the technique of a user undertaking a physical activity which comprises a securing region for securing the garment against a part of the users body, wherein said securing region comprises an interface connector () suitable for connecting to a processing unit (), and said garment further comprising at least one data transmission path () connected to said interface connector and suitable for connection to a sensor () and/or a control switch In use the garment enables the collection of data associated with the motion of the user, the comparison of this data with a biomechanical model of the exercise activity and the provision of a feedback response to the user. This enables the user to enhance their technique, and therefore their performance and reduce the likelihood of injuries.

Smart apparel

A device module () and method for connection to a textile fabric () with electrically conductive threads () to provide a fabric layer assembly (). The device module () comprises a flexible foil () and a thermoplastic layer () to enable a mechanical connection (M) between the flexible foil () and the textile fabric (). The device module () has an outer circumference (C) comprising inward notches (N,N) configured as anchor points for respective conductive threads () for holding and guiding the conductive threads () over and in contact with the respective conductive areas () for providing the respective electrical connections (E,E) while the mechanical connection (M) by the thermoplastic layer () is established.
