KaHa Rolls Out Concept of Smart Wearable Body Wellness-Monitoring T-Shirt Prototype

KaHa, a Singapore-based end-to-end smart wearable IoT platform company, has launched a concept smart wearable body and wellness-monitoring T-shirt prototype developed in partnership with SIMTech.

KaHa has been working alongside SIMTech as a key strategic technology and supply chain partner for the research institute’s latest Collaborative Industry Project (CIP) on Smart Apparel Innovation. This CIP program (see below for details), focusing on Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE), aims to accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies to tap the huge potential of smart wearable electronics and help enhance the local smart wearable manufacturing ecosystem.

The global apparel market currently stands at US$3.6bn (S$4.4bn), and the latest IDTechEx report forecasts the global wearable tech market to reach US$160bn by 2025. Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative is designed to develop key pillars of growth, with wearable tech being one of them. The rising global demand in wearable tech and apparel dovetails with Singapore’s building of technological and strategic capabilities to propel the nearly 130 manufacturers in the country and apparel manufacturing industry ahead of emerging competition around the world.

KaHa is one of the few companies globally that provide customisable end-to-end smart wearable IoT solutions which offers flexibility for launching smart networked devices and a one-stop solution for brands to bring exciting smart wearables to their customers. The successful demonstration of the smart garment prototype alongside KaHa’s other wearable products and solutions, builds a promising foundation platform for Singapore’s nascent smart wearable ecosystem.
Over the next five months, KaHa and SIMTech will help bring businesses to the forefront of understanding cutting-edge wearable technology and their applications, and help create prototypes that incorporate smart apparel technology into consumer products. KaHa as the CIP’s strategic partner will help guide local manufacturers, brainstorm for application ideas, and partner them to spin-off the prototypes for the manufacturer’s desired product, such as footwear or for customized use in nursing and healthcare.
