[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a smart garment for the elderly, including a main body 1. The main body 1 is a sleeveless vest design, loose and simple, convenient for the elderly to put on and take off. Figure 4 As shown, the main body of the garment 1 consists of a waterproof and breathable layer 101, an elastic support layer 102, and a skin-friendly layer 103, arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The waterproof and breathable layer 101 is made of Gore-Tex and other fabrics, with a hydrostatic pressure resistance of ≥8000 mm; the elastic support layer 102 provides structural support and elasticity; and the skin-friendly layer 103 is a blend of 70% organic cotton and 30% bamboo fiber, which is soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and antibacterial.

[0027] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the luminous reminder component 2 includes a short luminous strip 201 located on the shoulder and a long luminous strip 202 located on the back. It uses fluorescent material to emit light at night and improve visibility.

[0028] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, there are four medicine pouches 3, distributed on the side of the garment. Each medicine pouch 3 includes a transparent window 301, an LED status light 302, a gravity sensor 303, and a confirmation button 304. The LED status light 302 indicates the medication status using red and green colors; the gravity sensor 303 detects changes in the weight of the medicine pouch; and the confirmation button 304 is used by the user to confirm medication administration. The system allows users to set reminders via an app and synchronize data with family and friends.

[0029] like Figure 2As shown, heart rate monitoring component 4 is a 24GHz radar module integrated into the left chest lining. It monitors heart rate by detecting micro-vibrations of the chest wall, with an error of ≤3 beats / minute. Figure 2 and 3 As shown, heating element 5 is a flexible graphene heating film distributed on the chest, abdomen, and back, supporting zoned temperature control (such as priority heating of the chest and abdomen) and gradient heating mode (power 10-20W / m²). Figure 2 and 3 As shown, temperature sensor 6 is a flexible thermocouple patch that monitors skin temperature in real time with an accuracy of ±0.1℃.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the USB port 7 is located at the bottom edge of the garment and is used for charging and data transfer. It is protected by a cover 8 for dust and water resistance. Figure 1 As shown, elastic band 9 is located on both sides of the hem for securing and keeping warm. Figure 1 As shown, the emergency call button 10 is located on the collar. Pressing and holding it for 3 seconds will trigger a distress signal and send location and health data to a preset contact via the 5G communication module.

[0031] The controller 11 integrates an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a 5G communication module, and intelligent algorithms to achieve fall detection, data analysis, and anomaly warning. The battery 12 is a rechargeable lithium battery that supports kinetic energy charging and has a battery life of ≥72 hours.

[0032] When in use, the elderly wear normal clothing, and the system automatically monitors heart rate, body temperature, and activity level. Medication reminders and temperature control parameters can be set via the APP. In case of abnormalities (such as falls or abnormal body temperature), the controller 11 triggers multi-level alarms (vibration, APP notification, SMS) and initiates emergency rescue.

[0033] Specifically, the instruments, equipment, and operations described above are based on existing mature technologies, so no further description will be provided here.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
