description Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a widespread and chronic condition that affects children and adolescents worldwide. The person suffering from JIA is characterized by chronic joint inflammation leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited body movements. Individuals suffering from JIA require ongoing treatment for their lifetime. Beyond inflammation, JIA patients have expressed concerns about various factors and the lack of responsive services addressing their challenges. The implementation of smart garments offers a promising solution to assist individuals with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in performing their daily activities. These garments are designed to seamlessly integrate technology and clothing, providing not only physical support but also addressing the psychological and emotional aspects of living with a chronic condition. By incorporating sensors, these smart garments can monitor joint movement, detect inflammation, and provide real-time feedback to both patients and healthcare providers. To tackle these comprehensive challenges, the research aims to offer a solution through the design of a smart garment, created with a holistic approach. This smart garment is intended to improve the overall well-being of JIA patients by enhancing their mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. The integration of technology into clothing can potentially revolutionize the way JIA is managed, allowing patients to better manage their condition and minimize its impact on their daily lives. The synergy between healthcare and technology holds great potential in addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis patients. Through innovation and empathy, this research aims to pave the way for a brighter future for individuals living with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
