Wearable tech Innovators: Knitting Technology.

The next phase in Knitting Technology is the addition of electronic components to the fabrics, making them smart knitwear able to track such health-related parameters as heart rate and temperature. These technologies are transforming the performance wear. A number of companies are already prototype fitness-oriented clothes with conductive yarns and bendable sensors. Knitting Technology is finding itself on the leading edge of tech-textiles due to the merging of fashion and function.
