Smart Garment Technology for Healthcare
Heart disease and other cardiovascular health problems now globally claims 17 million lives or around 30% of global deaths (WHO, 2004). In the EU, heart disease leads to more than 40% of all deaths (European Public Health Alliance).
Management of heart disease and the provision of healthcare are rapidly becoming major features of, and costs to, public healthcare in developed countries.
SmartLife® Technology provides full clinical ECG data in real time, without the need for electrodes, gel interfaces, or hospital beds. No other technology currently offers this capability. SmartLife® Technology will revolutionise the monitoring and treatment of heart patients, leading to improved intervention for patients, cost savings, and efficiency gains.
