YouCare is born: the T-shirt that saves lives using 5G is now a reality
By Chris CoughlanLaunched at the Mobile World Congress 2021 YouCare is the new remote health monitoring service, based on a revolutionary new wearable technology, totally textile, washable and easy to use.
This innovation, made in Italy, is able to detect a large number of bio-vital parameters of the individual and transmit them via 5G.
The project focuses on the use of revolutionary textile devices like the T-shirt without metal components and with sensors naturally "set" into the fabric.
During the event, ZTE iterated that they are particularly proud to be partner in this extraordinary innovation and firmly believe that 5G technology is the key to a better quality of life.
ZTE further emphasised that they believe in talent and capabilities and want to keep giving their contribution to the Italian and the global technological development. For this reason, starting from next fall, ZTE will initiate the YouCare 5G test in the Innovation and Research Center located in L'Aquila.
YouCare enables the detection of bio-vital parameters, such as a "real" electrocardiogram, a respiratory act analysis, the components of the sweat, the muscle effort, and the body temperature, that has never been detected by textile sensors. The T-shirt allows the transmission, via a 5G ZTE connection, to health centres, as well as to individual users.
Italian Red Cross and IFRC chairman Francesco Rocca said, "It is an invention that will change the life and the quality of home and remote medical assistance to many citizens experiencing health problems and vulnerable people suffering from chronic diseases, ensuring accessibility to care services and the support of our national and international network.
"We have been working on the project since 2018 and today we are able to present the results of this important experimentation, born in the most difficult moment of the Covid emergence.
"This experimentation allows us to think with pride about the path made so far and to look to the future with hope and certainty of having demonstrated the commitment, the ability and the dedication of Red Cross network, to use and to disseminate new technologies for the service of the people and of the society."
The textile technology, patented and certified, develops new services for the protection of health in the areas of telemedicine, work, sport, and the general well-being of an individual.
By monitoring health, stress, and active living behaviours, it improves the safety of people, of the elderly, and of the sportive people.
The bio-vital parameters of YouCare, detected by imperceptible polymeric sensors "set" in the fabric, are sent to a miniaturised control unit that records the data, converts them into digital format, and ultimately sends, thanks to 5G, to a bidirectional platform transmitting them to the user's smartphone or smartwatch in addition to a remote unit that analyses the values with the medical software.
"From the very first moment - said Umberto Sgambati, CEO of Proger Group that, through the Start-Up Let's Web-earable Solutions, has created the "Smart T-shirt" sensor - we have believed and invested in what seemed to us a totally revolutionary idea that today is a concrete reality. Certified as a Medical Device, it has been enriched by the predictive algorithms of cardiovascular disorders of BSP-Medical the world leader in the field of Medical Data Science".
