University

A novel tool integrating pressure sensors, motion capture, and 3D scanning to assess and improve the fit of absorbent products for diverse body types. This approach aims to enhance comfort by offering data-driven insights for product design.

Overview

This innovative solution offers a comprehensive tool and methodology to optimize the fit of absorbent products in the pelvic region. By integrating pressure sensor matrices, motion capture systems, and 3D body scanning, it maps contact areas and pressure exerted during wear. This method addresses the comfort and effectiveness of absorbent products by providing precise assessments tailored to diverse body types and movements, ultimately guiding product design improvements.

Technical specifications
  • Pressure Sensor Matrix: Embedded in absorbent products to map contact areas and pressure distribution.
  • Motion Capture & 3D Body Scanning: Provides positional and morphological data to complement pressure mapping.
  • Machine Learning Integration: Utilizes data from pressure, motion, and anthropometric studies to create predictive models for optimal fit recommendations.
  • Anthropometric Study: Analyzes variations in body characteristics, including age, sex, weight, and medical conditions, to tailor fit assessments.
Technology readiness level

Currently at Technology Readiness Level 3, this solution is in the development phase. The project is progressing through various phases, including tool development, anthropometric studies, and protocol establishment, to ensure a comprehensive and validated fit assessment method.
