PROJECT: SMART CLOTHING FOR CHARGING
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The main challenges with
smart clothes are
1) Huge cost
2) Low energy density,
inefficient recharging, and
limited mobility in batteries
*Future energy plans include
cost and sustainability
reductions
* With current technologies,
producing electricity and
powering wearable
technology is a challenging
task to provide at a cheap
rate.

SOLUTION STATEMENT
Employing biofuel cells with electrodes
made of cheap carboxymethyl cellulose
and AC modified with ZnO to harness the
energy from sweat.
Enzymes are employed to increase
efficiency, and sweat is used as an
electrolyte to directly power smart devices
and other equipment needed for
monitoring human health.
CUSTOMER SEGMENTS
AGE GROUP: The product will be very
useful for the age group of 13 and above.
GENDER: As men sweat more than
women, the device is preferable to men.
PATIENTS: The person who has
Hyperhidrosis (abnormally excessive
sweating) gets a lot of benefit from the
device.
