Abstract
In recent years, smart devices have proven their effectiveness in monitoring mental health issues and have played a crucial role in providing therapy. The ability to embed sensors in fabrics opens new horizons for mental healthcare, addressing the growing demand for innovative solutions in monitoring and therapy. The objective of this review is to understand mental health, its impact on the human body, and the latest advancements in the field of smart textiles (sensors, electrodes, and smart garments) for monitoring physiological signals such as respiration rate (RR), electroencephalogram (EEG), electrodermal activity (EDA), electrocardiogram (ECG), and cortisol, all of which are associated with mental health disorders. Databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus were used to identify studies that utilized smart textiles to monitor specific physiological parameters. Research indicates that smart textiles provide promising results compared to traditional methods, offering enhanced comfort for long-term monitoring.
