2024 - 2027

The SeSMoVit-A project is investigating, among other things, what intelligent textile products can offer in this regard.

• What type of clothing and fabric fibres are suitable for this purpose?
• On which parts of the body should and can sensors be placed?
• How are the signals recorded processed and to whom are they transmitted?
• What about data protection?
• What are the actual signals that trigger an emergency?

The project is therefore combining sensor-based measurement methods for assessing the status and dynamics of the human body with virtually invisible sensors in and on textile fibres.

A consortium of various partners will work with the BTU to test the textile innovations in the Upper Lusatia region of Germany in a practical setting.

A total of 2.5 million euros has been made available for three years. Around 600,000 euros of this will be available for research at the BTU.

The SeSMoVit-A project ties in directly with the last research project funded by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, BMWE), in which a textile sweat sensor was developed and evaluated in collaboration with the TU Dresden.
