Innovation Award honour for I-Thermic
13/12/2018
The project partners worked with Twinery, the innovation arm of MAS.
Judges listed I-Thermic among the projects they wanted to honour in the wearable technologies category of the awards. I-Thermic is a knitted mid-layer garment that can give skiers and other wearers full control of their micro-climate.
Clim8’s technology, which launched in 2017, consists of sensors embedded in the yarn. These enable a garment to measure skin temperature, ambient temperature, activity level and humidity. This data is transmitted to an accompanying smartphone application, which automatically adjusts the temperature via integrated heating elements.
Wearers are able to set a preferred temperature and the system ensures that this is maintained. The heating technology is patent-pending.
Odlo chief executive, Timo Pape, has said: “I-Thermic allows users to stay active and remain comfortable during their winter activities, without having to remove or add layers of clothing. We are extremely proud to see this collaboration honoured at the 2019 CES Innovation Awards.”
