BARCELONA, Spain, June 29, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Launched at the Mobile World Congress 2021

It's called YouCare and is the new remote health monitoring service, based on a

revolutionary new wearable technology, totally textile, washable and easy to

use.

This innovation, totally made in Italy, is able to detect a large number of

bio-vital parameters of the individual and transmit them, in an intelligent

way, thanks to 5G.

The project focuses on the use of revolutionary textile devices like the

T-shirt without metal components and with sensors naturally "set" into the

fabric. The project was presented today in front of the world press during the

Mobile World Congress 2021 being held in Barcelona.

During the event, ZTE iterated that they are particularly proud to be partner

in this extraordinary innovation and firmly believe that 5G technology is the

key to a better quality of life. ZTE further emphasized that they believe in

talent and capabilities and want to keep giving their contribution to the

Italian and the global technological development. For this reason, starting

from next fall, ZTE will initiate the YouCare 5G test in the Innovation and

Research Center located in L'Aquila.

YouCare enables the detection of bio-vital parameters, such as a "real"

electrocardiogram, a respiratory act analysis, the components of the sweat, the

muscle effort, and the body temperature, that has never been detected by

textile sensors. The T-shirt allows the transmission, via ultra-fast 5G ZTE

connection, to health centers and control, as well as to individual users.

"It is an invention that will change the life and the quality of home and

remote medical assistance to many citizens experiencing health problems and

vulnerable people suffering from chronic diseases, ensuring accessibility to

care services and the support of our national and international network," said

Francesco Rocca, Chairman of Italian Red Cross and IFRC. "We have been working

on the project since 2018 and today we are able to present the results of this

important experimentation, born in the most difficult moment of the Covid

emergence. This experimentation allows us to think with pride about the path

made so far and to look to the future with hope and certainty of having

demonstrated the commitment, the ability and the dedication of Red Cross

network, to use and to disseminate new technologies for the service of the

people and of the society."

The textile technology, patented and certified, develops new services for the

protection of health in the areas of telemedicine, work, sport, and the general

well-being of an individual.

By monitoring health, stress, and active living behaviors, it improves the

safety of people, of the elderly, and of the sportive people.

The bio-vital parameters of YouCare, detected by imperceptible polymeric

sensors "set" in the fabric, are sent to a miniaturized control unit that

records the data, converts them into digital format, and ultimately sends,

thanks to 5G, to a bidirectional platform transmitting them to the user's

smartphone or smartwatch in addition to a remote unit that analyzes the values

with the medical software.

"From the very first moment - said Umberto Sgambati, CEO of Proger Group spa

that, through the Start-Up Let's Web-earable Solutions, has created the "Smart

T-shirt" sensor - we have believed and invested in what seemed to us a totally

revolutionary idea that today is a concrete reality. Certified as a Medical

Device, it has been enriched by the predictive algorithms of cardiovascular

disorders of BSP-Medical the world leader in the field of Medical Data Science".
