• With elastic band during intense activitymean<1.3 bpm std<1.6 bpm �Improvement!
– Solution implemented in the Second Prototype

– Position of the sensor has been changed in the second prototype
Summary of results and indications for proto n. 2
Oslo, 24th June 2009
• Tests in the Climatic Chamber at T = 45 °C, Rh 60%, wind 0.8 m/s (very hard conditions) set the working limit of the prototype due to
– Size
– Hydrogel membranes
– Hyper transpiration of the user
Summary of results and indications for proto n. 2
�Remotion of hydrogel membranes
�Production of more sizes of the inner garment in order to fit many different subjects

Outer garment: lessons learnt from the first prototype
• The protection level should be adapted to the use.
=> Different design for different End Users (Civil Protection, Forest and Urban Fire Fighters).
• A shortened vest to increase the mobility (FF).
=> The continuity of the protection ensured by shorter vest + higher trousers.
• It is necessary to facilitate the sweat evaporation (FF).
=> To decrease the moisture-proof surfaces.
• The embedded electronics doesn’t disturb the wearer of FF and even CP protection.
=> The current solution with optimized electronic modules is realistic.

ConclusionsConclusions
•PROETEX is now at 2/3 of its duration
•2 generations of garments have been produced
•The results of the testing of the first prototypes have given fruitful indications for the design and fabrication of the second prototype
•Essential role of end users
•The fourth year will be dedicated to some technical improvement and to a deep investigation on exploitation routes
SYSTEX – a new coordinationinitiative of the
Seventh Framework Programme
Systex – FP7 coordination action for enhancing the breakthrough of e-textiles and wearable micro systems in Europe
Project start: June 6, 2008
Duration: 36 months
EU funding 800.000 €
