Main Expertise of the Smart and Functional Textile Research Group
Lines of research:
•Functional textiles for Bio health sector•Intelligent sensor in textiles with application in domotics, aeronautics and automotive industry•Luminous textiles•Intelligent sensor in textiles for monitoring physiological signals with application in telemedicine•Functional sensor in textiles with applications in work safety•Chromatic sensors with applications in health care
Applications:
•Research in biomedicine and e-health for the development of new textile articles designed to improve personal well-being-Research in intelligent textiles with different applications (domotics, aeronautics, automotiveIndustry, etc…)-Research applied to the development of functional textile for protective work clothing in chemical environments, home furnishing, clothing, etc…
Role in Wear-a-BAN
AITEX will be active in the specification of use case for textiles. We will also integrate the new system in textile fabrics which will allow to control and monitor the movement of a person wearing the intelligent garment developed.
AITEX will lead, as well, the testing WP and end user validation in which we will interface the WBAN sensor nodes with product and platforms provided by the SME-AG’s and end-users SMEs in order to show the potential of the technology to all the SMEs communities.
