The Simple Truth…

As a direct follow on to our previous blog, humanity does not move enough. We sit, we lounge, we rest, we travel.

In each of these situations our movement is voluntarily or directly inhibited. So, what if your mobility was restricted due to illness, injury or “perish the thought” age! In these cases, mobility assessment is a critical step in the road to recovery. At present, most assessment is a qualitative process carried out by skilled professional, often in clinical settings.

Mobility Assessment Tool

And so, to patented smart textiles. The solution is a simple truth. Turn any chair into a mobility assessment tool and help patients recover and rehabilitate wherever they feel most comfortable. Start at the hospital or rehab centre and take the same measurements and processes into the home, office or factory.

Here is the power of smart textiles, the power of knitted textiles, the power of a revolution in healthcare monitoring either in hospital or home. The simple truth is a knitted stitch made of electrically conductive yarn connected to another and another and another, is the technology to radically alter the health of nations.

Simple, smart, cost effective and portable are the attributes of knitted textiles that contribute to this revolution. Footfalls & Heartbeats are the company driving this revolution with a set of structures that measure humans wherever they are and whenever they might be there.

Any Chair

The simple truth then becomes better patient outcomes. And that is our primary goal to:

Do Good…

If our technology, can make healthcare simpler, more cost effective and available to all (or as many as humanly possible) then our work is done. Well not quite, we are just starting. So, shout if from the rooftops, the smart textile industry has started and it is here to make humanity healthier and by  implication happier.

A great goal at Christmas but an even better one when it works all year round. Thanks for reading, have a great break with family and friends and if you like this technology tell everyone you know about the simple truth.
