POSTURE ENHANCEMENT JACKET BASED ON ACCELEROMETER SENSOR AND MAGNETIC THERAPY

Textile Technology

The project covers various factors with in smart textile and clothing, with a certain focus on sewing machine operators. In this project there has been a focus on smart and technical applications and application concentrated on enabling technologies. Smart textiles are possible thanks to the three following developments. The first is the introduction of new type of textile fibers and structures for example conductive materials. The second is the miniaturization of electronics, which makes it possible to integrate electronics into textile structures and products. The third is different kind of wireless technologies enabling the technology to be wearable technology in general. The basic concept of smart textile consists of a textile structure that sense and react to different stimuli from its environment. In its simplest from the textile sense and reacts automatically without a controlling unit, and in a more complex from, smart textiles sense, react and activate a specific function through a processing unit. The main parts include in a smart textile system are the sensor, the actuator and the controlling unit. The sewing operators usually sits in backless stools/ certain position for a long period of time this leads to the problem. This project is mainly concentrated on accelerometer sensor to sense the posture and alerts the user and magnetic therapy is given to reduce and relieve pain. Magnetic therapy is painless way of treatment. This study helps in the development of sewing operators’ well-being and health.
