Dr. Zhang Hui from Zhejiang Textile and Apparel Vocational and Technical College told reporters that the first ECG monitoring smart clothing jointly developed by the innovation team led by him and Ningbo Aibang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. will be officially launched next month.

“This dress looks like a fashionable sports vest. In fact, there is a mystery.” Zhang Hui said, “The smart clothing can realize 24-hour monitoring of the heart through tiny monitoring equipment, as if the heart was arranged. 'Sentinel', as soon as there is a situation, will immediately call the police."

It is reported that through continuous research for ten years, the innovation team has overcome the problems of flexible sensing technology, hardware technology algorithms and telemedicine, and only obtained the research results. The key difficulty lies in the creation of special materials.

“The structure and material of the fabric is very important. We used more than 20 kinds of materials for repeated testing, but the effect was always unsatisfactory. After many failures, we finally succeeded in developing a blend of silver and silver chloride. Performance mixed fabric." Zhang Hui said that this special fabric is convenient for daily wear and can monitor the physiological signals of the human body. Experiments have shown that the fabric can also be washed in a washing machine without affecting the function.

The reporter saw that the ECG monitoring smart clothing looks similar to the ordinary fashion sports vest, but it is not difficult to find out carefully that the black edge of the vest has two pieces of light yellow fabric about 5 cm long, and this is the smart clothing. The core part.

Zhang Hui explained that the electrode of the traditional electrocardiogram is glued, and its shortcoming is that it cannot be attached to the human body for a long time. After a long time, the skin will be itchy. The ECG electrode of this smart garment is implanted in the exclusive fabric, which can be close to the human body. The effect is the same as that of the traditional ECG electrode, but it will not cause allergies.

Under the staff's demonstration, the reporter saw that as long as the Bluetooth is turned on, the wearer's electrocardiogram can be seen on the mobile phone, with data such as heartbeat and frequency. At the same time, multiple mobile phones can be used to share monitoring data through the APP, so that children can pay attention to their cardiovascular health through modern technology and find problems in time.

According to reports, the innovative technology contained in the smart apparel has won more than ten patents, and has won many awards such as the China Makers Competition Gold Award, which is expected to become a new business card for Ningbo, the “clothing capital”.

Zhang Hui told reporters that before the Spring Festival, they commissioned 200 samples of garments produced by the Shenzhen factory to arrive soon. They will be distributed to elderly volunteers for trial wear and final optimization based on feedback from users. The first generation of smart clothing can be officially listed.

The reporter learned that in order to better transform this scientific and technological innovation into a best-selling product, Aibang Company has signed a transfer agreement with Zhejiang Textile and Apparel Vocational and Technical College for scientific and technological achievements.

Experts said that smart clothing based on big data, Internet of Things, technological innovation and other aspects is likely to become a key enthusiasm for the future development of the apparel industry. As the “clothing capital”, Ningbo enterprises have enough reason to pay attention to this enthusiasm and get inspiration from them to capture business opportunities.
