Abstract

A stretch-activated switch is incorporated in an RFID tag that can be mounted on a stretchable, wearable textile article. The stretch-activated switch can receive a stretch input to place the RFID tag in either an activated or an un-activated state. The stretch input can correspond to a user donning or doffing the stretchable, wearable textile article.
