This combines washable technology and breaks the mold of traditionally uncomfortable smart clothing that has poor heat dissipation, poor durability, and lower sensor sensitivity. The main characteristics of this product include comfort, integrated transmission of information through radio transmission, communications with mobile phones and tablets (Bluetooth 4.0), and real-time data transmission and analysis.

This device evaluates physiological signals such as heartbeat and respiratory rate for monitoring the user’s physical activity, sleep quality, and emotional state. It includes a nanosecond pulsed near-field sensing (NPNS) technology with low power radar. It is low cost and small in size. It has high sensitivity, selectivity, low power consumption and can be combined with various ICT systems.

This traditional smart clothing uses conductive fibers or rubber as sensing electrodes. Cardiac electrical sensing modules necessitate at least two or more electrodes to contact the skin for capturing the heart’s electrophysiological signals. It can be used for sports training, senior citizens, police, and firefighters.
