2023: Release of smart tracksuits that fully control the training process

The first enterprise in Russia to produce smart tracksuits that fully control the training process has started working. We are talking about the project of the Moscow company "Academy of Light Industry." Details about him in October 2023 were told by the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy (DIPP) Vladislav Ovchinsky.

According to him, a sports smart suit reads muscle movement, as well as the main parameters of the user's body - heart rate, breathing and temperature. Based on the collected data, the mobile application installed on the athlete's smartphone gives personal recommendations, allowing you to significantly increase the effectiveness of training and reduce injuries. To develop individual recommendations for the user, the principles and metrics of machine learning are involved in the process. During the production process, non-hazardous materials are used, which are also used in sports and medicine. Small sensors are built into the suit, so they will not interfere with the process of wearing the product.

By October 21, 2023, the Academy of Light Industry made 30 such smart suits. As noted in the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy, which is part of the Complex of Economic Policy and Property and Land Relations of the capital, this is the only enterprise in Russia that produces such products.

The creation of a smart suit has become a kind of challenge. Our company is the only one in the country to find resources and agree to participate in this most difficult project. We are perfectly aware of the development of designs for any sewing product, but successfully combining electronics and textiles, while maintaining the functional purpose of the solution, is a task akin to biohacking, "said Oksana Shamanskaya, General Director of the Academy of Light Industry.[1]
