On November 25, the partners hosted a webinar to present the project and the opportunities it will generate. This webinar was also an opportunity to position the participants to benefit from the services generated by the project (market research, commercial missions, B2B meetings, etc.), communicate your needs and thus join the selection of companies that will be able to benefit from European support for these actions. Beyond this internationalisation objective, the project also aims to encourage intra-European collaboration and synergies between the various members of the partner clusters.

Smartes T-Shirt von NTT DATA misst Körperdaten

NTT DATA, führender Anbieter von Business- und IT-Lösungen, bietet auch Unternehmen in Deutschland im Rahmen seiner Beratungsprojekte das smarte hitoe T-Shirt an. Ausgestattet mit einem Sensor und aus einem speziellen, leitungsfähigen Gewebe hergestellt, misst das Shirt bioelektrische Signale − Herzfrequenz, Puls und Muskelkontraktionen − des Trägers ohne die bisherige Verkabelung von Metallsensoren. Auf Basis der Daten lassen sich Rückschlüsse auf den körperlichen oder mentalen Zustand der Person ziehen und beispielsweise deren Puls, Stresslevel, Müdigkeit und Körperhaltung ermitteln. Ebenfalls lassen sich Energieverbrauch, körperliche Belastung oder Hitzestress messen. Durch das Monitoring sind darüber hinaus Stürze erkennbar.

NTT DATA, führender Anbieter von Business- und IT-Lösungen, bietet auch Unternehmen in Deutschland im Rahmen seiner Beratungsprojekte das smarte hitoe T-Shirt an. Ausgestattet mit einem Sensor und aus einem speziellen, leitungsfähigen Gewebe hergestellt, misst das Shirt bioelektrische Signale − Herzfrequenz, Puls und Muskelkontraktionen − des Trägers ohne die bisherige Verkabelung von Metallsensoren. Auf Basis der Daten lassen sich Rückschlüsse auf den körperlichen oder mentalen Zustand der Person ziehen und beispielsweise deren Puls, Stresslevel, Müdigkeit und Körperhaltung ermitteln. Ebenfalls lassen sich Energieverbrauch, körperliche Belastung oder Hitzestress messen. Durch das Monitoring sind darüber hinaus Stürze erkennbar.

Die Daten stehen unmittelbar per Smartphone zur Verfügung. Eine Auswertung wie etwa der Stresslevel kann im Anschluss erfolgen. Für tiefergehende Analysen lässt sich hitoe zudem mit einer Service-Plattform verbinden. Das intelligente Textil- und Nanofasergewebe zeichnet sich durch eine starke Langlebigkeit aus, und hält locker Schweiß, Feuchtigkeit und wiederholtes Waschen aus.
Entwickelt wurde das hitoe-Shirt von der japanischen NTT Group und Toray, japanischer Spezialist für Materialtechnologie. In Japan ist das Shirt bereits führend im Bereich der SmartWear und wird von Unternehmen unter anderem für die Unfallprävention eingesetzt: So tragen Busfahrer das Shirt, um rechtzeitig vor Müdigkeit gewarnt zu werden. Auch beim Bodenpersonal am Flughafen dient es zur Vermeidung von Unfällen. Generell erhöht die Technologie die Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz und lässt viele weitere Szenarien zu − vom Einsatz bei Arbeitnehmern, die besonderen physischen Anstrengungen unterliegen, bis hin zu Personal in sicherheitskritischen Bereichen wie Kraft- oder Chemiewerken.

Das hitoe-Shirt wurde auch im Motorsport eingesetzt, um das Training und die Leistung des Rennfahrers zu verbessern. In den USA ist NTT DATA Partner von Chip Ganassi Racing, einem der erfolgreichsten Teams im Automobilrennsport. Erst 2017 nutzte das Team die hitoe- Technologie mit einem seiner IndyCar-Fahrer, um Erkenntnisse zu sammeln und durch Analysen einen Wettbewerbsvorteil zu erlangen.
„In unserer Gruppe investieren wir stark in Forschung und Entwicklung. In Japan entwickelte Technologien bringen wir hierhin, damit deutsche Unternehmen davon profitieren können und am Puls der Zeit bleiben“, erklärt der NTT DATA Chief Client Officer Dieter Loewe.

In Deutschland hat die Deutsche Bahn das Tech-Shirt während einer Vergleichsfahrt eingesetzt. Im Rahmen einer typischen Geschäftsreise von Frankfurt nach Paris – verglichen wurde die Reise zwischen Flugzeug und der Bahn – trugen die Testfahrer das Shirt, um zu ermitteln, welche Reiseart stressfreier verläuft. „Das hitoe-Shirt hat im Zug wie auch im Flugzeug zuverlässig funktioniert und sich damit bei der Vergleichsfahrt gut bewährt. Dank der Datenanalysen konnten wir diese mit konkreten Zahlen hinterlegen”, sagt Karina Kaestner, Leiterin Vertrieb Business Partner bei der Deutschen Bahn.
NTT DATA wird diese Technologie auch in Zukunft intensiv fortentwickeln, um weitere Anwendungen wie etwa im Gesundheitswesen oder im Seniorenbereich für einen unabhängigen Lebensstil bis ins hohe Alter, zu erschließen.
