Development of New Connector for Smart Textile Products
Compact Smart Textile Connector RK02 Series [Coming Soon]
With the continuous aging of society, preventive healthcare using smart textile products has been attracting more attention. Smart textile products, including Electronic Muscle Stimulator devices, (related article : JAE and Xenoma Collaborate on Smart Textile Connector Development)are widely used for primary prevention to improve lifestyle, secondary prevention for early detection of diseases, and tertiary prevention for functional recovery through rehabilitation, etc. Research on applications that utilize smart textiles is progressing.
The RK02 series is a multifunctional and compact smart textile connector for future preventive healthcare which requires high-precision sensing, and is now developing in a beta version*.
*Beta versions are test marketing products offered during the development phase of a product or service prior to commercial release.
