Kegel training is perhaps not a glamourous topic but an important one. Elvie’s award-winning kegel trainer is a small pebble-shaped pod that connects to an app via Bluetooth. Using groundbreaking biofeedback the device guides women through fun, five minute workouts to build core strength, better control and even heightened sexual pleasure. As you squeeze your pelvic floor muscles a gem on the app lifts. The stronger your squeeze, the higher the gem lifts. A system of force and motion sensors can also detect the form of contraction and alert the user if she’s exercising incorrectly.
Another technology for pelvic floor exercising and no more embarrassing leaks comes with Carin – but the beautifully designed smart underwear is different to other kegel trainers: There is nothing to insert, it is non-invasive and painless. The underwear manages leaks with the absorbing power of a large tampon and a sensor snapped to the underwear measures the progress by showing urine loss data. Coaching videos help you to exercise your pelvic floor muscles 10 minutes per day, you will experience increased strength and control even after a few weeks.

Chronic diseases affect patients in their daily life and often influence their independence. Asthma for example is very common in our population today and requires being attentive all the time. Luckily we live in the year 2018 and there are several useful tools out there that can help give patients back their independence. A tool to understand and monitor asthma attacks more easily might be a solution for the 300 million people globally suffering from asthma. Health Care Originals has developed a smart patch called ADAMM. It is a three-part solution: a wearable to detect precursor symptoms of asthma, a smartphone app, and a web portal to detect the treatment efficacy. The device and the app will be able to alert the wearer when experiencing an asthma situation, journaling, treatment plans, displays, and tracking and information on treatment of the symptoms.
The number of people suffering from chronic mental health problems is also growing; especially depression is a common issue. South Korean tech startup Ybrain came up with a new medical device to treat mental diseases at home. The MINDD wearable headband is a non-invasive neuromodulation system for depression treatment to improve a patient’s mental health. The headband uses transcranial direct current stimulation to deliver a stream of electricity to the frontal lobe, a specific brain area. As soon as the electric waves are passing the area where decreased activity is associated with depression, users feel a tingling. The device can be connected to a smartphone app for sleep logging, exercise and medical treatment.
Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes people to have recurring seizures. There is no cure for epilepsy but the threats can be at least reduced by using wearable devices. Empatica´s Embrace Watch is a clinical quality device to monitor and better understand your behavior. It monitors seizures, sleep and physical activity and helps to analyze and predict events of epilepsy patients.
Another wearable for early detection and management of epilepsy that helps patients to analyze and predict seizures comes with TJay, designed by TerraBlue XT. TJay is a smart glove capable of sensing electrical signals from the wearer’s body, keeping track of health status day and night.
A tool to help first aiders to find the right blood vessel within seconds is Evena Medical´s Eyes-On-Glasses. The company built the first wearable point-of-care ultrasonic system for vascular viewing.
All of these devices can help people living a better life, if the diseases can be cured or not – we should not give them the chance to control our lives.

This year’s IFAI Expo had to have been the largest ever Advanced Textiles Conference and show floor in terms of participants. That’s just my own anecdotal evidence, at this point, but I’ve been to the AT events every year, and I’m betting that Expo statistics will back me up. There was special emphasis this year on Smart Textiles, with a conference “track,” (See “A long and winding path” on this site) an e-textiles hackathon (“IFAI’s first Hackathon yields novel e-textiles products”) and new exhibitors in this area.
When IFAI first started its commitment to covering advanced textiles in a more focused format, I had to do some digging to find the courageous entrepreneurs who were delving into the “what ifs” and pursuing novel solutions in this market area. The entrepreneurs in the high-tech end of textiles are still courageous, but they are many more of them developing ever more exciting technologies and products.
Also, many more of these researchers and entrepreneurs are women. Young women, too. Lots of them. Again, this is my own anecdotal evidence, but it has to be worth something. What this could mean is that more women are pursuing science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses of study and launching careers in these areas, labeled “STEM.” Marie O’Mahony in her article “STEM, women and the advanced textile industry” says that male and female students at the graduate level are about equal, but that number drops off dramatically in comparing leadership level careers. “This is a problem that has to be faced,” O’Mahony says.
But I’m encouraged, and I anticipate progress. One indicator was the variety of areas of expertise that came together at the Advanced Textiles Conference: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials engineering, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, fashion and design, IP and patent law, and others. In fact, the discussions following presentations were frequently dynamic and informative, too, fueled by the varying perspectives of the experts in attendance.
I heard the word “collaboration” often, indicating that there is a widespread belief that making the next “leap”–particularly in e-textiles–will require the kind of team effort, as was represented in the hackathon competition. One presenter is launching an organized effort to do just that. Ben Cooper, managing director of IOClothes, is launching a website at the end of the year designed to create efficiency in sharing information to develop smart fabrics and e-textiles. “How do you align all these different groups that speak different “languages?” he asks. His answer is an online “meeting place for the entire community to get on the same page.”
Could this format be turning point for the industry? We intend to be on that “page,” too, and we’re looking forward to sharing the information.
The development and commercialization of e-textiles requires a collaborative effort among diverse areas of expertise. Although this market segment has seen impressive growth, there are concerns in the textile industry that proper standards have not yet been developed, much less implemented. At IFAI’s Advanced Textiles Conference in September, there was considerable discussion about moving forward with the creation of these standards, and there was a call to get industry participants to become involved in the process.
IPC—Association Connecting Electronics Industries, an international standards group has announced that it will host a free webinar on a new standard being developed by the IPC E-Textiles Materials Subcommittee. This webinar will take place Oct. 31 from 12:00–1:00 p.m. Eastern.
IPC-4931, Requirements for Electronic Textiles (E-Textiles), Conductive Fibers and Conductive Yarns will be the first industry consensus standard for e-textiles materials. This webinar will provide background on the need for the standard, a report on the subcommittee’s work and additional activities the subcommittee has planned.
