A team of engineers from the University of Delaware has launched “Henswear” nanotechnology to revolutionize health monitoring by integrating nanomaterial-based sensors into daily clothing.
This innovative program, supported by the National Science Foundation, aims to deliver wearable nanotechnology that speeds recovery and adapts to existing fabrics. Henswear uses nano-sensors embedded in textiles to provide real-time human movement data, bringing new prospects for health monitoring. The latest version of the sensor is flexible, thin, more sensitive to changes in pressure and angle, and can be integrated into clothing or applied directly to fabric.
Potential applications for the technology range from enhanced fitness tracking to aiding injury recovery. The research team plans to further validate the sensor and explore potential markets and applications within the NSF I-Corps program.
