Smart textiles in healthcare - Stretchable and washable electronics

At the Danish Technological Institute, we provide solutions for the healthcare industry using our advanced stretchable and washable electronics technology.

Our innovative approach to integrating electronics with textiles opens up a world of possibilities for medical devices, patient monitoring, and healthcare robotics.

Our technology

• Fully stretchable and washable wiring & LEDs on textiles
• Capable of withstanding numerous stretching events

Prototyping

Our prototyping process for stretchable and washable electronics is hands-on and practical. We start by discussing your needs and choosing the best method for your project. This could involve printing onto stretchable materials, laminating electronics onto textiles, or transfer printing layers directly onto fabrics using a hot press. We then create test samples to check how well the electronics work when stretched or washed. We use real-time stretch testing and wash testing to make sure the prototype can handle everyday use. Throughout the process, we make adjustments based on test results and your feedback. Our goal is to create a working prototype that meets your requirements for both function and durability. This step-by-step approach helps us develop electronics that are truly stretchable, washable, and ready for use in healthcare settings.
