Wearable smart textiles for mood regulation: A critical review of emerging technologies and their psychological impacts

Journal of Industrial Textiles, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 55

Published: Jan. 15, 2025

Mood fluctuations, influenced by factors such as workplace stress, academic pressure, and interpersonal relationships, can significantly affect mental health decision making. Effective mood regulation is essential for maintaining psychological well-being, especially during critical developmental phases adolescence. Traditional management methods often rely on personal willpower subjective techniques, which be inadequate in high stress situations. Recent advancements wearable technology, particularly the field of smart textiles, have led to continuous objective regulation. This review explores integration textiles with regulation, focusing emerging technologies that incorporate principles into fabric designs. It examines various equipped sensors, actuators, biofeedback mechanisms monitor physiological indicators related mood, heart rate skin conductivity. These not only provide real-time feedback but also offer interactive elements, temperature light modulation, tactile feedback, allowing users actively engage their emotional states. In addition, mobile applications allows track patterns identify triggers, thereby enhancing self-awareness. end, through a synthesis current research, this discusses impacts these wearables, including efficacy reduction, anxiety management, overall resilience. highlights challenges future research directions realm
