Experts at Robert Gordon University research ‘smart’ clothes for healthy life
DESIGN experts at a Robert Gordon University are researching “smart” clothing that could help transform the lives and health of people suffering from a range of chronic conditions.
The new research project, “Second Skin”, brings together experts from design, textiles, computing and health sciences to develop tech-enhanced textiles for people with health problems, including diabetes and obesity.
Professor Julian Malins said: “We can imagine clothing capable of monitoring an individual’s vital signs, whilst helping to administer medicines and give early warning of potential problems.”
