Problem
Traditional bioelectrodes often cause discomfort, skin inflammation, and measurement errors due to perspiration. Existing conductive fabrics may also lack consistent conductivity and require gels or water for effective use in applications like EMS (electrical muscle stimulation).
Solution
AI Silk's LEAD SKIN technology addresses these issues with a novel dyeing technique that creates highly conductive fibers. By coating the entire fiber surface with a conductive material, LEAD SKIN achieves uniform conductivity and reduces the need for gels or water in applications such as bio-monitoring and EMS. The resulting fabrics are not only skin-friendly and comfortable but also maintain their performance even after washing. LEAD SKIN AIR further enhances this by enabling effective EMS treatments in a dry state, eliminating the mess and inconvenience of traditional methods.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers of bio-monitoring devices, EMS equipment, pressure distribution sensors, multi-touch sensors, and protective clothing requiring electromagnetic shielding.
Features
