Developed ‘Smart Fabric’ That Can Detect Diseases

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MYTH) scientists, who follow the movements of the users and start to predict the movements of the wearer after a certain period of time. smart fabric they were able to develop. This wonderful fabric can be used in the detection of diseases, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can be a great help for people who do sports.

The scientists first heated a special type of plastic thread and then produced a digital to knitting machine they sting. While the heated thread strengthened the seamless fabric, the digital knitting machine made this fabric usable with sensors. Pressure sensors with algorithm synchronizing the experts, at the end of the process, they were able to develop textile products such as smart shoes or smart sports mats.

Artificial intelligence predicted the action to be made with 99 percent accuracy

By using the pressure sensors placed on the smart fabric, they track the movements and detect the pressure change during this tracking. instantaneously measuring and by sending these measurements to the algorithm, the scientists who performed machine learning tested the artificial intelligence developed after a while. During the tests, the smart fabric is able to detect the movements of the person. 99 percent accuracy rate managed to guess. According to the head of the study, Irmandy Wicaksono, these products can easily be put into mass production and become a part of ordinary life.

Okay, but what good are smart shoes?

Scientists also made a statement about how to use the smart fabric they developed. According to the explanations made, the fabric that can be transformed into any textile product form; It can be used when doing health, rehabilitation or sports. For example; after an accident losing the ability to walk At the stage of teaching a person to walk again, measurements can be made with the sensors in these products. The measurement made can provide an understanding of whether the person is making progress or not.

Moreover; diabetes By measuring the pressure changes in the feet of the patients, different diseases can be detected. Besides all this, prosthesis how compatible a foot is to the body can be determined with these smart textile products. Wicaksono, “You have the freedom to design your own products and also integrate sensors into the structure. So you can shape it according to your body shape.By saying “, how much of the system actually wide comprehensive He also explained that.
