InstantShoe. Personalización de calzado basada en materiales con “memoria de forma”
El Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) ha colaborado con la empresa alicantina de calzado terapéutico Calzamedi para la puesta a punto de “InstantShoe”, un innovador servicio de personalización de calzado de mujer en el punto de venta. El proceso consiste en el registro de la geometría 3D del pie de las usuarias en tienda mediante un escáner de bajo coste desarrollado por el IBV. En base a las dimensiones del pie un novedoso sistema de ajuste personaliza el calzado fabricado con un material con propiedades de memoria de forma. Estas propiedades proporcionan al zapato la capacidad de recuperar su forma original al ser calentado en caso de que la usuaria decida finalmente no formalizar la compra.
Anthropometry, the guarantee for clothing that fits right
Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) has just completed the study on the modern-day measurements of the Spanish male population.
These measurements round off the data acquired about the female population and favor the provision of services aimed at improving the sizing of clothes so that they fit consumers better.
This study, financed by the European Commission through the SizingSUDOE project, has been complemented by the publication of two Anthropometric Notebooks on the male and female population that contain the current measurements of the Spanish population, which are intended for the textile, fashion and clothing industry.
EIT Health: Innovation in healthy living and active ageing
Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) is at the vanguard of Valencia’s participation in EIT Health, the largest European body concerned with innovation in healthy living and active ageing. With a total budget of 2.1 billion Euros, EIT Health was selected as a new Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) in December 2014. It will begin to be fully operational as of 2016.
PULSAMED. Pulsatile extracorporeal circulation system
The company Mercé Electromedicina, S.L., with the collaboration of the Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) has developed a system capable of modifying the lineal flow of a conventional heart pump, and of converting it into a pulsatile flow. Among the most outstanding features of this system, known as PULSAMED, are its low cost and the fact that it makes it possible to choose pulse-related energy independently from the blood flow you choose. The maximum values reached by pulse-related energy quadruple those found in scientific literature.
