[0017] The following is in conjunction with the instruction manual Figure 1-2 , the present invention is further illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0018] A monitoring system for temperature and humidity of smart clothing for the elderly and its operation method, wherein the monitoring system can monitor the temperature and humidity inside the clothing in real time, automatically start the heating function when the temperature is too low, and issue a warning sound when the humidity is too high, effectively ensuring the body temperature stability and health of the elderly in cold and humid environments. The Arduino-based smart clothing monitoring system for the elderly has broad application prospects and is of great significance for ensuring the health of the elderly and improving their quality of life.

[0019] Design principle / solution: The design of a temperature and humidity monitoring system for aging-friendly smart clothing mainly follows the following principles: comfort, convenience, and safety. In terms of clothing design, the physical characteristics and behavioral habits of the elderly are taken into consideration, and temperature and humidity monitoring and heating functions are added. Temperature and humidity monitoring is mainly achieved by embedding temperature and humidity sensors inside the clothing, while the heating function is achieved by controlling the heating element through Arduino. The construction of this system provides a design idea for intelligent wearables with human-computer interaction.

[0020] Specifically: Use the Arduino platform to monitor temperature and humidity. Once the internal temperature drops (below 28°C, a specific set value), the heating function is started through Arduino to achieve real-time temperature monitoring and timely heating until the temperature inside the clothes reaches 34°C (critical value), and the heating function stops; and when the humidity is detected to be over 70% (such as caused by wet underwear), the monitoring system will issue a prompt sound so that the caregiver can help the elderly change clothes in time, providing a more comfortable and safe wearing experience for the elderly. At the same time, the monitoring system can be expanded and implanted with more intelligent functions, such as health monitoring, intelligent navigation, etc., to meet more life needs of the elderly. The technical solution of the present invention can also be used for urine pads or blankets. When infants and young children who are in the lactation period wet the urine pad, parents can be reminded to prompt parents or caregivers to change the urine pad and infant clothes in time to avoid infants and young children catching colds. This system can also expand other functions, such as real-time monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, falls, etc.
