Successful development of smart sports T-shirts can monitor ECG

Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly intervening more deeply into human life than ever before. Referring to IoT devices, many people will immediately think of hardware devices, electronic equipment for life and work in general. However, IoT is not only limited to such a small range, it is related to all devices and vehicles (called "connected devices" and "smart devices"). ), rooms and other equipment embedded with electronic components, software, sensors, actuators and computer network connectivity, enabling these devices to collect and transmit download data.

In the past few years, people tend to apply IoT more in the field of health in general and health care in particular, especially the aggressive development of smart wearable devices like smartwatch or health monitoring bracelet. Without that trend, KaHa, a company operating in the field of designing end-to-end IoT platform for smart wearable devices based in Singapore, has recently officially launches its second generation of smart sports T-shirts with a myriad of improvements and interesting advantages in taking care of users' health.

Besides the perfect continuation of the advantages of its predecessor line, this second generation smart sports T-shirt has also been added by many manufacturers with many advantages and interesting features. Accordingly, this second version will have a lot more 'fabric' signals, which will significantly enhance the ability to transmit signals to different areas on the shirt, while allowing engineers to design Next, install some smart modules (health monitoring sensors) in many other places on the shirt. This improvement not only enhances flexibility and creativity in sporty t-shirt design, but also places more emphasis on user convenience. In addition, this new generation smart shirt is also accompanied by additional ergonomics functions, allowing the wearer to feel comfortable and stylish, ensuring that it can be used in not only sports but also can wear and go to work, daily work.

'Smart Fitness T-shirt is connected to smart module and KaHa mobile application, making it possible to monitor many important health indicators such as ECG (electrocardiogram), heart rate, heart rate variance , V0 2 Max and many other indicators, 'said Pawan Gandhi, founder and CEO of KaHa Pte Ltd.

In addition, Smart Fitness is also equipped with some smart features such as supporting the design of training schedule, monitoring the training process, and gameization (application of principles and elements in game design to areas, non-game situations (and often easy to be boring) with the aim of making participants feel excited and interact more).

During the launch ceremony, KaHa only displayed T-shirts that could measure ECG, however, by converting smart modules, users can also easily switch from electrocardiography to rhythm monitoring. Heart, V02 Max and other health parameters mentioned above. Of course the smart module on Smart Fitness T-shirts will also need to be synchronized with the mobile application, to be able to view and track the data obtained.

As people become more and more aware of their own health, the need for health care monitoring tools will gradually increase. This fact, together with the incredible progress in smart garment technology and IoT in recent years, has contributed to strongly promoting the development of the market of personal health care equipment in general. and smart garments in particular. Now everyone can easily monitor their own health and know how to adjust their own lifestyle without having to rely too much on the advice of a doctor like before. It can be affirmed that health care utilities are benefiting greatly from the development of information technology.
