Currently, there are about 80 million people with various types of disability in the European Union, but this number isexpected to grow in the coming years, mainly due to the increasing proportion of older citizens.At European Union level, disability is seen as a problem of the whole society. This requires continuous training andadaptation in all spheres of life, for receiving and maintaining these persons in the mainstream of social life, in order toensure all the facilities. There are powerful incentives for research and innovation in the social field (services for thebenefit of people), medical field (diseases whose origin is unknown, customized medical protocols, non-conventionalmonitoring instruments etc.), or technology field (robotics, informatics, textiles etc.) in an equal manner. An importantrole is played by the adaptive clothing characterized by comfort, accessibility, safety and style. The paper includesaspects regarding the making of some experimental models of textile elements with electronic functions intended for vitalfunctions monitoring systems.
