SmartTex: Health Monitoring Research for Aerospace and Earth
To develop and improve health monitoring technologies for long-term space missions, a cross-functional team developed the SmarTex t-shirt. Designed for ergonomic and comfortable use, the shirt contains integrated sensors that monitor and wirelessly transmit several detailed cardiovascular parameters. Testing on the International Space Station (ISS) began in November 2021. A year later, we’ll discuss the research data on design, comfort, sensors, wireless and energy harvesting technology - and how they can be used on Earth.
