Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of a high-tech garment using IoT technology for people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. In particular, the results of creating a prototype of a heat-protective product with the function of monitoring physiological indicators of the organism of a person with disabilities are presented. The aim of the work was to develop and scientifically substantiate a system for monitoring physiological parameters of a person with a disability used in a heat-protective product adapted for being in a wheelchair. The relevance of the research is due to the high demand for specialized clothing with a heat-shielding function for people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with the ability to track physiological parameters of the body. In the course of solving the problem, an analysis of scientific papers on this topic was carried out. Modern methods of developing algorithms for fuzzy logic, circuit design, modeling and mathematical statistics have been used. In the process of doing the work, a justification for the use of IoT technology in integration with the garment product is given. The software for the smartphone has been developed to monitor physiological parameters of a human body with disabilities. The scientific development was tested in laboratory conditions, which, in turn, confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed idea. The results obtained in the course of the conducted research can be used in everyday life by people with disabilities, thereby improving their quality of life.
