AI smart jacket prevents heat burns, how is the quality?

Experts create jackets made from AI-powered electronic fabrics, with color-changing fibers that signal temperatures above 40-50 degrees Celsius, to provide optimal temperature for the wearer.

Some products made from e-textiles, such as heating pads and electric blankets, can help keep the wearer warm and help relieve aches and pains. However, prolonged use of these products can cause heat-related illnesses, including hyperthermia or burns. Photo: @ RoboticsBiz.

Some e-textiles also contain sensors that can monitor the wearer’s heart rate, blood pressure, and movement, or can connect via Bluetooth to temperature-controlling mobile apps. Photo: @Forbes.

However, even with technological advances, users can still be injured by products containing these fabrics. The elderly are particularly susceptible to heat injuries, due to their reduced sensitivity to heat, and those in nursing homes are vulnerable, because their body temperature is not always stable.

Faced with this situation, a team of researchers designed and tested a new smart jacket equipped with environmental sensors, heat-generating and color-changing fibers, integrated with an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to control temperature and prevent overheating. Photo: @adesignaward.

Professor Jeanne Tan from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and her colleagues believe they can improve the safety of e-textiles by combining AI-controlled systems with thermochromic yarns to create a fabric that warms the user without overheating and provides instant temperature information for easy monitoring.

Here, the researchers have created a smart heated jacket using their special new e-textile. The fabric contains heat-generating silver-coated yarn. This silver-coated yarn functions to warm the garment, but it is lighter and more flexible than conventional carbon fibers. Photo: @adesignaward.

The AI-based temperature control system built into the jacket was pre-trained by testing it on 50 subjects of different ages, genders, and body types, who indicated their preferred temperature in different environmental conditions. Photo: @aatcc.

In addition, this jacket also integrates polymer optical fibers that are extremely flexible in changing color according to temperature, becoming a safety warning feature for the jacket wearer to monitor the temperature while wearing. Photo: @cloudinary.

The polymer optical fibers change from purple to pink when the temperature exceeds 30°C, allowing for easy tracking during the day. Photo: @adesignaward.

At night or in low light conditions, the polymer fiber glows in different colors—blue below 30°C, yellow above 40°C, and red above 50°C to indicate the heat level on the shirt. Photo: @adesignaward.

In a demonstration, polymer optical fibers in the jacket accurately indicated the heating temperature, and the jacket's AI system accurately predicted the comfort temperature and provided a stable temperature to the wearer, even when the environment changed. Photo: @adesignaward.

In the future, the team says, their new e-textile technology could be used in a variety of applications, from car seats and heated furniture to spacesuits. Photo: @Born to Engineer.
