Sensatex to launch SmartShirt field trials

With the announcement of its field test program, Sensatex also announced that it would begin to seek a new round of financing to be used to launch the commercial product. Sensatex will begin building out its platform technology by developing other products utilizing its wide patent portfolio.

“One of the new technologies we are working on is sleepwear for infants that will monitor for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome,” continued Kalik. “The field testing will provide us with valuable data to address current challenges in a range of settings, and give us information to develop important new products.”

Early research for the SmartShirt System was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG). Sensatex's six original licensed U.S. patents on conductive fiber usage, developed by Georgia Tech, illustrate the novel design for intelligence capability and information infrastructure of the SmartShirt System. Beta testing for the system was announced last year.

The SmartShirt is a seamless light, breathable, nylon fabric with fully integrated conductive fibers, creating connectivity to acquire and transfer physiological signals to a small controller where the signals are digitized and sent wirelessly to a remote location.
