Claim 7:
8. A textile product configured to be worn on a body of a wearer, the textile product comprising a fabric having an outside surface facing away from the wearer's body and an inside surface configured for skin contact with the wearer's body, the fabric having pores extending from the outside surface of the fabric to the inside surface of the fabric, the textile product comprising:
one or more integrated sensors, each having an inside portion disposed on the inside surface and an outside portion disposed on the outside surface:
the inside portion comprising an electrical skin contact element having a first side configured for skin contact with the wearer's body and a second side opposite the first side, the electrical skin contact element partially or completely arranged on the inside surface of the fabric with the second side adhered to the inside surface of the fabric, the electrical skin contact element comprising an extensible electrode and including an extensible plastic material comprising conductive particles or graphene;
the outside portion comprising at least one extensible conductive element mounted on an outside of the fabric; and
a conductive region of the fabric comprising a conductive polymer material embedded in the pores of the fabric in an area of the fabric extending between the inside surface of the fabric and the outside surface of the fabric,, the at least one extensible conductive element directly connected to the conductive polymer material on the outside of the fabric in said conductive region, the conductive region providing a sole electrical connection configured to conduct a current or voltage between the at least one extensible conductive element and the electrical skin contact element through the fabric of the textile product between the inside surface of the fabric and the outside surface of the fabric.
