Intelligent fabric monitor health

Designers from Cityzen Sciences of France won the CES 2014 award in the category of improved health.

This is a fabric called Smart Sensing because the fabric fibers are woven together with the micro-sensor. When sewing clothes will help to monitor and monitor the health of the wearer.

The Smart Sensing fabric can read body temperature, breathing, heart rate and motion via GPS monitoring, said Gizmag. This special fabric can be used for many types of garments such as shirts, pants and gloves.

Smart fabrics contain sensors powered by very small batteries. They link information with a smart phone to analyze user status, say they are tired, stressed or moving, that a heart attack may be imminent. This application is very useful for many people like soldiers, athletes ...

Smart Sensing is 30-40% more expensive than conventional fabric, but it can be safely washed away due to its tiny sensor and battery, but it is not afraid of water. Another strength of this fabric is the ability to measure oxygen levels in the blood.

Cityzen is continuing to develop ways to recharge its batteries as soon as they wash and collect the kinetic energy of the wearer.

Gizmag said the fabric will be commercially available and soon available on the market.
