The wearables of tomorrow, today - presentation by Toju Raine, KYMIRA at the IoT Thames Valley Meetup on 8th May. https://www.meetup.com/Internet-of-Things-Thames-Valley/

1. THE
WEARABLES
OF
TOMORROW,
TODAY
TOJU RAINE
SPECIAL
PROJECTS LEAD

3. WHY CLOTHING?
• Enables large data
canvas
• Seamless -
Applicable to all
users
• Non-inhibiting so no
data skew
• Durable for long-
term use

4. KYMIRA - WHO WE ARE
• Reading based SME operating in fitness and healthcare
• Vision – Life-saving wearables accessible to all
• Infrared sportswear range with customers worldwide
• Company growth has facilitated R&D into electronic(e)-textiles

5. INFRARED SPORT AND
HEALTHCARE RANGE
• Enhances athletic performance,
aids in rehabilitation
• Applicable to fibromyalgia,
Reynaud’s, chronic joint pains
• Fabric material is stretchy and
breathable, perfect base for
e-textile development

6. ECG MONITORING
GARMENT
• First prototype developed in
January
• Adhesive-free electrodes allow for
put-on-and-go freedom
• Single lead ECG with real-time
monitoring via cloud and mobile
application
• Potential to replace Holter and
ILR within healthcare

7. E-TEXTILE TECHNIQUES AND
INNOVATIONS
• Printable layers of conductive &
encapsulated inks, heat press onto a garment
• Production ease enables mass manufacture
• Improvement on other garment wearables –
washable, modular, comfort, medical &
sporting application, multi-lead ECG,
machine learning software
• Robust, noise resilient textile-based ECG
electrodes enable adhesive-free clean
signals

8. COLLABORATION WITH EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY
• Six-month project developing
machine learning mechanisms
• Utilising space technology
• Anomaly detection and pattern
matching
• Demonstrator project beginning in
October

9. ULTIMATE GOAL:
A wearer powered smart garment that can detect the precursors to a heart attack, diagnose and action an emergency response

11. FURTHER KYMIRA R&D
• Foetal monitoring garment
• Energy harvesting mechanisms
• Versatile wearables for various
applications – empowering
individuals
• Other sensor applications –
accelerometers, blood pressure,
gyroscopic, magnetic orientation
etc. for various sectors
• Complete IoT system
