Smart Fabric for Cardio-Performance Enhancement

Overview

About this study

The aims of this study are to develop a smart fabric untethered compression garment to dynamically oppose orthostatic changes and that can be synchronized to position change or an individual’s electrocardiogram. We also aim to determine the compression thresholds needed, timing and synchrony of compression for human applications. Furthermore, we will demonstrate maintenance of blood pressure and reduced autonomic responses to tilt table testing or LBNP (lower body negative pressure) and evidence of augmented venous return by synchronizing compression during diastole.
