Functional fabric devices having integrated sensors

The invention describes a smart fabric system worn on a body part, where the fabric applies pressure. A flexible, wireless sensor, placed between the fabric and the skin, measures changes in limb volume using bioimpedance, which involves electrochemical electrodes. This system aims to monitor therapeutic parameters comfortably.

Why it matters: Given the short two-year gap, fundamental changes are unlikely. However, continuous advancements in flexible electronics manufacturing and power-efficient wireless communication for medical wearables could incrementally improve feasibility and reduce component size.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedFlexible wireless electronics, bioimpedance sensor, electrodes.
