WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY By working in close partnership with fabric , garment and technology partners , Alexandra continues to drive innovation .
“ We ’ ve had an exciting project running for the past 18 months that focuses on the development of wearable technology and its importance to our customers . One of the most interesting points about a number of the wearable technology innovations is the fact that they not only seek to improve employee safety from specific risks , but also seek to improve their general welfare . It ’ s an incredibly broad topic , focusing on traditional points of concern such as being visible in low light conditions , or improved worker productivity through the access to information via heads-up displays , to being aware of someone ’ s mental alertness or hydration levels .
“ The developments based around welfare are some of the most important . Receiving an alert that your concentration levels is falling is proactive - helping to avoid an incident taking place . You may be doing something that ’ s excessively strenuous or perhaps something you ’ re not used to . All of a sudden , your brain activity drops significantly . This technology alerts you to the fact you need to take a break , refresh , and gather your thoughts and composure . �
