Abstract: - Flexible textile electronics play a vital role in wearable technology as they are set to replace conventional wires; they show limited resistance to the mechanical stress experienced in body applications. The electrical resistance level of these conductive threads is crucial in determining their operational capabilities. This study explores the development and evaluation of various conductive threads by examining the materials and fabrication methods highlighted in recent research to identify the most suitable thread that balances electrical performance, mechanical durability, and wearability, thereby providing a strong foundation for advancing smart clothing technologies in real-world applications. The use of conductive thread can be included in smart wearables to reduce electronic waste and promote the growth of an eco-friendlier and sustainable technology environment. Key Words: conductive threads, smart wearable devices, Fabrication methods, Textile integration, wearable technology
