The development of new technology often creates new opportunities to provide value to customers in new products. Electronic textiles have hundreds of potential use cases, many of which are being explored by different companies around the world. So where is the "killer app" for e-textiles?

This presentation by Canatu Oy CEO Juha Kokkonen was initially held at the AWA IMECON 2021 conference in May.

Blumio are a startup developing radar imaging systems for monitoring arterial pressure. IDTechEx interviewed their Co-Founder and CEO Catherine Liao at Cardio Wearables 2021.

Researchers have designed a new touch-sensing glove that can "feel" pressure and other tactile stimuli. The inside of the glove is threaded with a system of sensors that detects, measures, and maps small changes in pressure across the glove. The individual sensors are highly attuned and can pick up very weak vibrations across the skin, such as from a person's pulse.

IDTechEx was sent an evaluation kit for Sensel's haptic trackpad product. Designed primarily to meet the requirements for a laptop trackpad, the unit integrates Sensel's force sensing technology and custom haptics.
