Until then read on about more innovative inventions the medical community has come up with so far.
Benefits Of Biomedical Textiles
You've seen advertisements telling you you can repair tissues without harsh surgeries, but you may not have heard of the newly developed in situ coating on warp knitting. Research on warp knitting shows how vascular applications check how a heart may be doing during and after surgery and can prevent complications such as blood loss.
Further experimentation shows that situ tissue regeneration has a high chance of regenerating damage for those concerned with recovery. Biofunctional textiles are made with biopolymers and have many applications. They will be used for ingenious types of cosmeceuticals to help in the prevention of aging with the unique and new biopolymers inside the biofunctional textiles.
Other great uses for these textiles are for treatment of issues such as using antibiotics to treat infection, boost metabolisms, and release any other medicines needed to rejuvenate ourselves. Check out this journal done by the US National Library of Medicine on these creative ways to rejuvenate ourselves.
The choice is yours on how you apply your regenerative smart therapies. If you have questioned this giving yourself reasons why you will not need this, then here they are.
Here are four reasons why you don't need biomedical materials:
1. You Don't Want to Heal With Less Scarring
By not using biomedical textiles you may have severe itching and pain. Some pain will be worse than others depending on the scar, so imagine not having the problem, to begin with.
These materials give a better standard of living in that bio-materials will help in the regeneration of body parts that are damaged. When fibrin is combined for wound healing there will be fewer complications.
2. You Aren't Interested in Regenerative Textile Therapies
Why would you want to repair damaged tissues after surgery? Maybe because it would look like nothing was ever damaged, to begin with.
Electrospun nanofibers will work wonders for regenerative therapies when it aids scaffolding of tissues. These nanofibers offer progress in better water filtration, energy, and regenerative medicines.
3. You Think Wearable Electronics are Useless
If you enjoy leaving your health vulnerable without early warning, then you won't mind leaving your life up to chance. Having a proactive health plan to improve your lifestyle will prevent any health risk concerns.
Biosensors will monitor the body throughout your day to help prevent any diseases from developing further along down the road.
4. You Enjoy Struggling Without Personalized Medicine
You don't need specific kinds of medicines to cater to your personal biology. We have been using that same kind of medicine for years what difference would it make? The difference is that therapies would be tailored for your own specific biology and have a better impact on your health.
Polymers will aid personalized medicine by carrying an individual's stem cells for the regeneration of tissues. We are at the dawn of innovative smart bio-materials commercialization. There are many uses smart polymers will have besides tissue engineering because of the many properties of how they react to internal and external stimuli.
After they respond to any stimulus such as heat, they can also go back to their normal state which is great for time-released medications. This new kind of therapeutic medicine will help heal specific tissues and diseases people may have when the drugs are released into the body.
Smart textiles have three main areas which are: smart clothing (textiles) wearable electronics(electrical engineering) and wearable computers aka information science. Although there are 3 main categories, they are all considered E-Textiles.
Smart Solutions Textiles Provide
There will be new biomedical clothing while performing functions such as measuring vitals and wound treatments. One way medical smart clothing will adapt is in how its textiles will heal wounds, help regrow bone and cartilage, and even treat diabetic patients which have all been recorded in the interdisciplinary journal of research and innovations.
According to research, biotechnology will become an important aspect for the future of fashion, and integrate textiles for a new standard of living. A new standard of living is coming that will include biomedical clothes that help heal wounds and regenerate aging body parts such as cartilage and bone. This all helps prove people of all ages will most certainly benefit from smart clothes.
Although it is not mass-produced yet, Stanford Medical school has even shown in much of their experiments that smart bio-materials within smart textiles will be used in bone tissue and cartilage regeneration. Synthetic polymers are one of the most popular bio-materials that will be used in tissue regeneration, which respond the best to many different variables like temperature, P.H., and any other chemicals.
Although these materials are not in our everyday clothes of today, the good news is that with technological advancements, bio-materials will collaborate nicely with smart textiles as the market for this grows. A great market trend analysis is shown below to show the growth of biomaterials in the coming near future.

In 2019 the fashion industry was worth 2.4 trillion worldwide, but after the hardship of covid 19, it has taken some hits. Here is a video that talks about the requirements of modeling and how Ms. Khare talks of how diversity is good for the industry. There is also a valid point of how height does not need to be an issue as the fashion industry adapts to changes in the digital industry.
As the fashion industry gets remodeled, with the help of AI systems, there is no room for the look of models to only be really tall or really young. Genetic engineering will help reengineer problems of aging so that models can rejuvenate themselves.
Project 21 was created by the Sens Foundation and co-founded by Dr. Aubrey De Grey, a pioneer in the fight against aging. Project 21 began in 2016 to help commercialize anti-aging therapies to the public one day. His book Ending Aging has shown that Rejuvenation technologies through biotech will truly be an amazing sci-fi reality come to life.
models will be able to represent all kinds of sizes with the help of new additive manufacturing that will help in custom-made fabrics. Here is how fashion is today but read on to find out how modeling can change for the better through the use of AI.
Although Michelle Khare is 5'2" she amazingly showcases how well she could walk and act high fashion in this video made in 2019. Although she is not showcasing smart textiles she is explaining the need for designers to show more diversity in fashion shows.
One fashion expert explains to her why high fashion clothes are cut according to a certain standard. The prototype is expected to be a certain size and sent to places like New York for models to wear.
A modeling agency based in London called Anti-Agency encourages models who do not fit a typical mold of what is expected. They exhibit extremely original and creative models who are not the usual size or height that is expected. They are just one example of unconventional modeling that has already started to help change the industry.
She does however tell Michelle that it is a matter of time for those that are persistent that will help change some of the strict rules such as height requirements and size.
She does also mention that fashion designers are starting to show models that are shorter and more diverse. With the help of AI, the modeling industry will change the typical stereotype of what modeling is as well.
Here are 5 ways AI will change the modeling industry:
