Role in Wear-a-BAN

AITEX will be active in the specification of use case for textiles. We will also integrate the new system in textile fabrics which will allow to control and monitor the movement of a person wearing the intelligent garment developed.

AITEX will lead, as well, the testing WP and end user validation in which we will interface the WBAN sensor nodes with product and platforms provided by the SME-AG’s and end-users SMEs in order to show the potential of the technology to all the SMEs communities.
