Benefits of innovative smart clothing design
Smart clothing enables on-body measurements and interventions, when ever, where ever, in a comfortable way. Every day.
This enables you as a user, to live healthier, work safer, or to perform better, without even noticing you are wearing a tracker, or carrying high-end electronics with you. Smart clothing allows you to focus on the task at hand, enjoy life to the fullest, and not getting distracted.
Enhanced wearability and functionality
In smart clothing, comfort and functionality are key. By taking high-end technology and integrating it in a comfortable and innovative way, we allow for continuous monitoring, therapy, interventions, or simply information access, in our daily lives.
This way, smart clothing can for example enable out-of-hospital-care to patients who still need monitoring, but cannot stay in the hospital due to various reasons. Or, have difficulty travelling to the hospital for regular check ups.
By making this technology ‘as comfortable as your favourite t-shirt‘ people will not mind to wear it daily, even to work. Imagine the possibilities and efficiency for smart clothing in for example construction work or healthcare!
Integration of advanced technology
In healthcare for example, smart clothing allows for continuous monitoring of health parameters, such as ECG (heart monitoring), respiration rate, stress, and temperature. And at medical quality! (No gadgets or false measurements).
For people with an impairment, such as the visually impaired, smart clothing can help guide them in an unobtrusive way. For example by integrating location and motion sensors and combining these with haptic navigation technology, allowing them to more easily find their way, or even recognise objects or even people!
