Jabil and partners develop textile-based heart monitoring system
28/01/2016
Partnering Suunto, a manufacturer of heart rate monitors, and Firstbeat, a provider of physiological analytics for sports, the companies have say their “unique” system offers consumers a custom solution.
“Building an integrated textile Heart Rate Monitoring solution today requires very different competencies and capabilities, which often turn into a guessing game between multiple vendors trying to piece it all together,” said John Dargan, Jabil's vice-president.
Jabil has set up a research and development lab near its Florida headquarters to enable Clothing+ researchers to build on their e-textile work.
Clothing+ has worked with adidas, Garmin, Salomon and Philips on smart textiles.
