Wearing a T-shirt that can measure numerous bio-vital parameters in real time: from the electrocardiogram, heart rate, rhythm and depth of breathing, skin temperature and posture. With the application of this wearable technology in the field of workers' health and safety, in the presence of anomalies, the competent doctor is alerted so that he can intervene.
The use of artificial intelligence to process data
.This innovative textile technology patented and internationally certified as an Accyourate medical device is able to make any garment smart, thanks to the integration of imperceptible polymeric sensors in the fabrics.
A person's state of health can thus be detected in real time by measuring a series of parameters. This immense amount of data is transmitted, in a manner that must ensure respect for privacy, to a technological infrastructure in the cloud that, through a software platform, by means of algorithms of analysis and predictive processing involving the use of artificial intelligence, informs the competent doctor of possible anomalies to prevent the risk of injury to workers.
The project was presented in the Senate at a press conference entitled 'For Safety at Work We Use Intelligence' organised by the Foundation Optimists & Rationals.
Technology innovates medical devices
.Marco Lombardi, managing director of Proger and Accyourate, sheds light on the new technology, explaining that it is a polymer dissolved in an aqueous solution that can be 'printed' on any fabric without altering its characteristics, and that it allows a T-shirt to become a sensor capable of recording and transmitting vital parameters without conductive wires.
