Smart textiles and wearables - development, consulting, and testing
In Danish
Integrate sensors and electronics into textiles - and get specialist advice from idea to documented product.
Smart textiles are textile-based products with embedded electronics that can measure, record, or respond to the body's signals. The technology creates new opportunities within health monitoring, sportswear, and patient care, but it also imposes requirements on material selection, design, and documentation. Danish Technological Institute advises and assists you all the way from concept to validated product.
The challenge: From idea to functioning product
Integrating electronics into textiles requires interdisciplinary knowledge of materials, printing technologies, functionality, and user requirements. The product must be comfortable, durable, and functional, and it must meet relevant safety and performance requirements. Many companies have a strong product idea, but lack access to the specialized knowledge and testing capacity needed to bring it safely to completion.
How can Danish Technological Institute help you?
At Danish Technological Institute, our experts in printed electronics specialize in smart textiles and offer:
- Consulting on the integration of sensors and electronics in textiles
- Material characterization and selection of suitable textile substrates
- Consulting on design requirements: function, comfort, and aesthetics
- Prototyping and development of new product concepts
- Functional testing and validation of smart textiles
- Consulting on relevant requirements for safety and documentation
We assist both companies developing new products from scratch and those looking to add smart features to existing clothing, medical patches, or bed linen.
Why companies choose to work with us
Danish Technological Institute is a self-owned, independent research and technology organization with a dedicated team of specialists in printed electronics and smart textiles. This means that you receive advice based on technical insight, not commercial interests. We cover the entire process from early concept development to testing and documentation, providing you with a solid foundation to take your product further.
