a new technology Which integrates the elastic fiber sensors into the shoes developed By the National Research Center for Nanotechnology (UNAM) at Bilkent University and is able to determine the number of Health problems, including Parkinson’s disease and gait disorders.
project manager Mustafa Urdu who specialized in Production and characterization of Fiber cables that can generate electricity for Wearable devices, explained that technology developed In UNAM they are loaded with Intelligent sensors can monitor body movements and identification of problems and diseases, with The ability to diagnose many health problems.
More explanation cutting-edge technologyHe said it could be woven body worn or incorporated into shoes since then by knitting these cables together like Type of Threaded fabric, which can be incorporated into clothing as a fiber. “This is what makes us team Erection out Among the existing laboratories in The world; We make smart sensors with Flexible and two-dimensional fibers materials, Ordo said.
Nanotechnology can help Continuous monitoring of the wearer’s heart rate as well body The temperature is through the sensors, Urdu said, adding that they hope the temperature will reach technology Will be widely used in Orthopedics. Flat feet are common in many peopleInsoles manufactured specifically are not generally used because they are also used expensive. and then research It’s still running as we hope it comes up with Sensors that can monitor walking behaviorand finally eliminate gait problems over Time by making personalized slippers in partnership with the doctors “.
The development of This optical fiber technology Can help in early diagnosis of Neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. The team he is also a job on Sensor integration with smart phones in In order to detect differences in gait of These are in risk of illness over time, which will increase doctors’ ability to diagnose patients early. In addition to this fiber also You have ability To generate electricity, the fibers are placed under the sole of Shoes have the ability to charge devices such as phones.
The technology It has many uses and commands for a large part of The global market with many companies using its application in United States, Europe and Asia. Economic benefits of using these technologies in Urdu said our country is very big, who He studied Mechanical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) before going on to study in Japan, France and the United States before returning to Turkey share All you know.
