HOWDY BREATH is suitable for all ages: specific textile units are available for infants and children up to 36 months, children from 3 to 16 years, and adults over 16 years. Continuous and non-invasive monitoring Wearing a simple garment incorporating ComfTech textile technology, it is possible to monitor patients in the facility or at home. HOWDY BREATH is designed to be integrated into the user’s daily life as a flexible, adaptable and non-invasive support. ComfTech’s design has always placed the user at the centre, the device is designed to not interfere with the person’s lifestyle and can be worn all day long in total freedom. ComfTech’s sensorised garments are made of a special conductive yarn that guarantees absolute and long-lasting comfort. The fabric clings like a second skin, leaving complete freedom of movement and safely detecting the signal. Elements of the system The system consists of: • HOWDY BREATH electronic unit, class IIb medical device • HOWDY App for data reading • Sensorised garment, class I medical device The system can also be integrated with compatible thermometer and pulse oxymeter, whose data are displayed in the HOWDY App. How does it work?
