Curated by Roxtron — RFID & NFC manufacturer. Visit roxtron.com

Researchers have developed a custom, software-defined NFC system that leverages fabric-integrated meander coils to create garment-scale sensor networks without the signal attenuation common in Bluetooth or the rigidity of wired systems. By enabling protocol-level flexibility on a microcontroller, this architecture allows for high-frequency data acquisition across multiple body-worn tags, offering a scalable and comfortable solution for continuous biometric monitoring and indu
