According to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 5.7 million adults in the United States have congestive heart failure (CHF) disease, and the cost of medical treatment for the disease is as high as $30.7 billion. People with diabetes or high blood pressure are at risk of developing CHF, and about half of the confirmed patients die within 5 years of diagnosis. For patients with chronic or congestive heart failure (CHF), the ability to accurately predict the next onset of the disease will greatly improve their quality of life.
At the CES show in 2019, a French digital health company, Chronolife, brought the gospel to heart patients, and the company launched a machine washable smart T-shirt that closely monitors vital signs.

Chronolife is a French-based digital health artificial intelligence company that is committed to predicting and preventing CHF through subtle and comfortable devices to help people improve their quality of life. The company's patented technology is a unique neuromorphic algorithm HOTS (a hierarchical structure based on uniform temporal surfaces) that continuously analyzes multiple data streams to characterize a patient's clinical characteristics.
The smart wearable device developed by Chronolife, a smart T-shirt, integrates a variety of sensors to continuously monitor the wearer's physiological data. The biometric data collected by the T-shirt on the wearer is transmitted to their smartphone application via Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE). The application uses HOTS technology for data fusion and analysis. Users can provide access to these data to healthcare providers through the app.

Made from cotton and lycra, the Chronolife T-shirt guarantees the elasticity and comfort of the garment and supports machine wash and water wash. It is worth mentioning that the Chronolife T-shirt does not need to be connected to the Internet because it will closely monitor the user's body and the automatically generated data will be stored in a secure cloud service. It also does not require charging. When washing, the user does not need to remove the embedded sensors and other electronic components.
According to Chronolife, the T-shirt measures six key physiological statistics (ECG, abdominal breathing, chest breathing, lung impedance, physical activity and body temperature) in real time. Combined with machine learning technology, the product is expected to predict the next onset of heart disease.
Chronolife T-shirts have an estimated retail price of €200 (1,374 yuan) and Chronolife plans to supply researchers, insurance companies and healthcare companies.
Currently, the Chronolife T-shirt has not been approved by any organization. However, Chronolife said it hopes to obtain CE certification in the European market in March this year and is approved by the FDA this summer.
It is understood that the Chronolife T-shirt has already begun production, and the clinical trial of the entire end-to-end solution will begin in the second half of 2019. The solution includes a T-shirt, a smartphone app with HOTS algorithm, a certified server and a web interface.
Participants in this clinical trial in Europe will include approximately 500 heart failure patients from approximately 20 large hospitals in France, Denmark and Germany. The clinical trial will continue in Europe for one year and the data collected will allow Chronolife to validate its patented algorithm HOTS and for the detection and prediction of chronic heart failure.
Arterial Network has learned that in addition to this machine washable smart T-shirt that closely monitors vital signs, Chronolife is developing other preventive devices and garments to predict sudden infant death syndrome, seizures and medical care related to sleep apnea. situation.
Imported Premium White Carbon Black
Silica black is the general name of white powder X-ray amorphous silica and silicate products, mainly refers to precipitated silicon dioxide, gas phase silicon dioxide and ultra-fine silicon dioxide gel, including powder synthesis of aluminum silicate and calcium silicate, etc. Silica is porous and its composition can be expressed as SiO2·nH2O, where nH2O is in the form of surface hydroxyl groups. Soluble in caustic soda and hydrofluoric acid, insoluble in water, solvents and acids (except hydrofluoric acid). High temperature resistance, non-combustion, tasteless, odorless, with good electrical insulation.
