You may look forward to, see on television of shiny smart clothing, one day you can wear on themselves.Now, we is not far away from this dream.More surprising, perhaps, not its appearance that grabs an eye, but its magical efficacy: shaping slender shape, is the escort of health, protect the battle-hardened warrior.
"Calorie tracker" - a good helper to lose weight
For smart clothing equipped with comfortable noninvasive biological sensors, to record and transmit temperature, breathing rate and ecg data, is undoubtedly the choice makes the wearer feel more secure.When users sitting, walking, running, sleeping or doing any other activity, saves biological signals recorded these sensors, and transmitted to the terminal server."Calorie tracker" is such a smart clothing sensors designed for people to lose weight, it's smart clothing system consists of four most: biological sensors, digital spin system, software system and communication and medical services.
In general, people fighting obesity by controlling diet and exercise.Design "calorie tracker", is to assess the workout, display of sports burning calories, and recommend simple exercise program.It chooses the android as its running system, mainly because the android better to handle multiple tasks, it is vital for ecg data real-time transmission.If the system does not support multitasking, if another application is up and running, or the user calls, electrocardiogram (ecg) data transmission will stop immediately.Smartphone is equipped to deal with a client program, and the exchange of data terminal and server.
In order to better understand the "calorie tracker", let us start from the four stages of it to run.
The first stage, the receiving health intelligent clothing sent to electrocardiogram (ecg) data.More specifically, people wearing smart clothes in the running, walking, or other activities in the process of "calorie tracker" can not only collect ecg data, other information can be collected to the wearer, such as weight, height, age and sex.In addition, the wearer must provide the following information: they are at rest or motion state, whether in medication and whether to have diabetes.
Heart rate variability in the second stage, through the ecg data measurement, measurement results and the physical, emotional, and the change of brain function.Variations in the heart of a healthy body presents a good adaptability, generally speaking, heart rate variability helps to assess the autonomic nervous system function, and electrocardiogram (ecg) is better diagnosis of various heart diseases.Famous heart rate variability index including standard heartbeat interval time interval and standard deviation, etc.
The third stage, the use of heart rate variability index and other data, calculate the value and weight index movement by burning calories.Expenditure of energy is vital for individuals to determine the amount of exercise and intensity of sports, in order to determine how many calories burn best, need to use heart rate variability related measurement value (such as the average resting heart rate variability, etc.), according to the user's gender to calculate the maximum oxygen consumption per minute;Then according to the user's weight and other data to calculate the specific numerical movement time by burning calories.
The last stage, for users to develop a plan to lose weight."Calorie tracker", for example, might show "you need slight movement for two hours every day, a month can lose 1 kg".According to the user in a particular activity (such as 5 minutes) of heart rate variability in the data, the system can help the user to determine the exercise intensity;Then, it will be based on the user's weight loss goals, the appropriate amount of exercise to help lose weight.
Doctor "intimate" - multi-channel "smart immortal" the situation is the escort of health
An old woman woke up in the morning the mood is good, cheerfully began the day's work.Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in his chest, she realized she was a heart attack, but she is the only one in the house.Beside her enough to the best recent telephone, but can't reach, eventually unconscious on the floor.But surprisingly, the ambulance in she fainted in less than a minute to reach her, send her to the hospital.It saved her life is her the smart dress.
The doctor "intimate" as further evidence of intelligent technology to benefit human health, let us appreciate the prowess of the "smart fairy".In fact, monitoring the health of the smart clothing can use a variety of materials play a role.The university of Michigan with soaked in conducting nanotubes and engineers
Covered yarn, created a unique smart clothing.This kind of yarn strong, flexible, good sensitivity, it made intelligent clothing
Mainly for the track of human blood, if the wearer's bleeding, it can be found and pass the message.
A project funded by the European Union has developed a smart health clothing, using tiny electronic textile materials monitoring a series of physiological data, get rid of the dependence on heavy equipment.This kind of comfortable and biochemical monitoring equipment hidden will play an important role in the field of prevention and rehabilitation medicine.

First BIOTEX project is developing electrical, electrochemical, and optical sensors, if embed them textile layer, can be formed to monitor the wearer biochemical parameters of induction area, these areas of the wearer's body fluids (blood, sweat and urine) for all-weather observation.Accordingly, to work under extreme environmental conditions and diabetes patients, the project has special significance.The French atomic energy commission, an official said, the project aims to research and development is used in the three areas of biological sensors.To monitor the quality of sweat is the first large areas, including the wearer's pH value and salinity of sweat and sweat rate;The second area is to monitor the patient degree of burn infection, in order to observe the wound healing process.Is the third largest area monitoring infiltrates blood oxygen saturation, this are used in the field of medicine, sports, and security.
HealthWare and BIOTEX similar textile materials, the production of smart clothing using health monitor respiration, pulse frequency sensors, temperature sensors, external skin blood oxygen meter and three-axis accelerometer, etc.These instruments to collect the information will be sent to "portable patient unit (PPU)," by the PPU summary by GPS mobile again after connected to a central server, so that medical personnel to monitor.This smart clothing advanced is that it all sensors are transparent, so the wearer can see covering his whole body all cables.So they will feel more comfortable, more at ease.
In order to prevent sudden accident injuring person has collapsed, researchers have invented a smart clothing can continue of self-adjustment.It can measure many health index to judge whether body stability decline, whether changes in blood pressure increases the risk of fainting.If the human body stability decline and increase blood pressure, etc., it will provide the necessary drugs to deal with these symptoms, or warned the wearer.Once the wearer really has collapsed to the ground, it can detect one hundred percent;The clothes will automatically become part of a protected area, such as generating built-in air bags or local thickening.Around the world in the face of the ills of the malaria, in addition to using traditional 

mosquito net and pesticides, fashion designers also let us see the magical efficacy of intelligent technology in fighting the disease.This smart clothing will help the fight against mosquitoes, because it itself contains a kind of special crystal, function as pesticides.This kind of crystal is harmless to human skin, the clothes is not only durable, can also drive bug, reduce the chance of mosquito bites, skin is the most important, of course, reduce the incidence of malaria.If can reduce the production cost of garment, for the vast number of third world countries suffering from malaria will be a Gospel, mankind may eventually eradicate the disease.
"Smart uniform" - battlefield "invisible bodyguard"
When soldiers wounded on the battlefield in the future fell, their intelligent battle may be able to immediately to report wound position, can even detect the soldiers in the blood and sweat residue after chemical and biological attack.The defense threat reduction agency, according to a report released in the future will built-in smart military uniform medical sensors, to monitor the health of the American soldiers.This battle is not only can detect the location and depth of wound, also can use the GPS report will be the location of the soldiers fell, and other critical information for battlefield doctor.The defense threat reduction agency said the intelligent battle may be able to "estimate bullets into the depth of the human" and its impact on the surrounding organs.Built-in sensors can detect the human body blood, saliva, sweat and urine specific "biomarkers", according to these marks, determine whether the human body by a chemical or biological attack, whether through
Whether the nuclear radiation, were the remains of a roadside bomb.In order to improve the endurance of combat soldiers, the weight of the burden of ease military uniform, Harvard University is trying to develop a lightweight smart clothing.It USES a series of interactive design, intended to prevent soldiers fatigue symptoms, further improve the soldiers endurance;This smart clothing also used the retractable sensor system, real-time monitoring to the wearer's body.When the sensor detects the wearer fatigue symptoms, they will take action immediately, such as a bass sound mechanical vibration make the garment open automatic massage function, to help the wearer to relieve fatigue.Darpa promises to provide up to $2.6 million, although had originally planned to put the smart clothing used in military field, but also has considered its play a role in civilian areas, such as to provide more convenient and comfortable living for disabled elderly, or helping endurance weaker people improve endurance.
Funded by the us defense advanced research projects agency, Georgia tech developed a detectable soldiers life information of T-shirt.Researchers using optical and conductive fiber to integrate the various micro sensors on the fabric, used to real-time detection to wear t-shirts, a soldier's heart rate, ecg data, breathing rate and body temperature, and other important signs.Rapidly changing battlefield environment, the smart t-shirts allows commanders to better grasp the soldiers, to control the game has important significance.
