Smart Textiles

At the AIME Lab, we are reimagining healthcare by turning everyday clothing into intelligent, wearable medical platforms. Led by Dr. Xun Zhao, our team develops smart and electronic textiles that seamlessly integrate sensors, diagnostics, and therapeutic functions into comfortable, durable fabrics. These systems enable continuous monitoring, real-time health insights, and on-demand treatments—all without leaving the wearer’s side.

Our research spans innovative fabrication methods, advanced material design, and system integration to create textiles that are as functional as they are wearable. We target applications in chronic disease management, elder care, pandemic readiness, and preventative health, while also addressing data security, regulatory requirements, and the pathway to commercialization.

By embedding healthcare into what people already wear, we aim to make personalized, round-the-clock care both effortless and accessible—bringing the clinic to the individual, anytime and anywhere.
