Smart Fabric Measures All Aspects of Physicality
From: Medical Design Technology - 01/28/2015

The BeBop Wearable Smart Fabric Sensor, is the first and only ultra-thin
wearable smart fabric sensor that measures all aspects of physicality,
including bend, location, motion, rotation, angle, and torque. According to
McMillen, BeBop's sensors aim to measure more than just heart rate and
breathing.

The company’s proprietary and patented monolithic design continuously
provides real-time reporting on force, x/y location, bend, twist, size,
stretch, and motion, all displayed as data 3D maps. This information is
accessed from the fabric via Bluetooth or USB.

According to the company, the sensors can provide real-time reporting for
markets, including clothing and protective wear, shoes, healthcare devices,
athletic equipment, automotive, robotics, aerospace, gaming, biometrics,
prosthetics, recycling monitors, and appliance markets.
