00:00 Greek textiles company Pepper Valley has developed a range of wearable medical devices,
00:05 tops that act as a monitor for early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
00:10 We move to also other fields of textiles like the smart and e-textiles because you offer a
00:20 service in addition to a very nice cloth that you wear. For example, smart textiles can serve
00:28 people by supervising them during their daily routine to have some feedback regarding their
00:36 cardiovascular health by getting their electrocardiogram of a good quality electrocardiogram
00:44 where for example a doctor can get more data from the wearer and then the doctor can predict that
00:50 the wearer should make more tests and check-ups in regard to his health and maybe predict an
00:58 incident that would be fatal for the wearer. So adding services to the clothes is something that
01:07 we believe it will be the next thing in textiles and fashion.
