Medical Perspective

Sense-Tex is a unique 5-fiber yarn-thread construction consisting of two conductors and three natural fibers. This composition not only creates a distinct fabric that promotes health but also offers protection against harmful chemicals, viruses, and bacteria. By connecting to sensors, Sense-Tex enables innovative tech integrations in the textile industry.

Unlike other smart textiles, Sense-Tex is sustainable, durable, and washable. It surpasses cotton in terms of longevity, lasting over 100 washes at different temperatures. It can be used independently or blended with other fabrics. The versatility of Sense-Tex opens up endless applications and paves the way for a sustainable and circular textile industry in the healthcare sector, where large volumes of textiles are consumed daily.

Sense-Tex offers various benefits as a textile. It avoids the release of micro particles into the water, possesses antiseptic and antibacterial properties, enriches the skin with antioxidants and vitamins, minimizes odor, provides protection against harmful UV rays, and shields against mold, mildew, and insects. Furthermore, Sense-Tex is biodegradable, compostable, and mechanically recyclable.

When connected to a sample sensor, the Sense-Tex smart yarn-thread technology helped provide real-time health data, similar to a smartwatch. It offers insights into your body’s functioning, allowing you to make adjustments to improve both your physical and psychological well-being.

Examples of Measurable Parameters by the sample sensor:

• Heart Rate (HR)
• Real-Time ECG Streaming
• Respiration Rate (RR)
• Skin Temperature
• Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
• Activity Monitoring: Walking, Sitting, Lying Down, etc.
• Body Position
• Core Body Temperature (requires optional enclosure and belt humidity)
