Study on Comfortability Design of Heart Rate Monitoring Vest for Elderly Women

Abstract

In order to promote healthy aging and care for the heart health of elderly women, the authors carry out a design for the heart rate monitoring vest sold in the market for its “suitability for the elderly” and “comfortability”. Based on the requirement of flexible heart rate monitoring, this paper analyzes the functional requirements of physiological function and morphological changes of elderly women, selects eight kinds of high-elastic nylon and spandex interwoven fabrics with different composition ratios on the market to test the two basic properties—tensile property and thermo-wet comfort property, and optimizes the fabric partition design of elderly heart rate monitoring vests by referring to the test results of fabric comfortability. To a certain extent, the study improves the comfortability and stability of heart rate monitoring vest of elderly women, and provides multiple choices for the maintenance of heart health of elderly women.
