ComfTech  is created as a non-participatory spin-off of the Milan Polytechnic University and of the textile company New Sirvip srl’s innovation branch. The first project of smart textile starts in the neonatal
intensive care wing in the Lecco hospital, with the aim of creating a wearable technology in order to improve the life of premature babies. In the same year, ComfTech ® obtains the first patent for a wearable
system with textile sensors and then the second patent for an innovative textile sensor capable of measuring a person’s vital parameters.

Completion of the first neonatal monitoring system study of the infant’s first two hours of life at the Manzoni Hospital in Lecco. In the same year ComfTech ® applies for a third patent for a sensor capable of
measuring physiological electrical signals.

This year marks the collaboration with both Italian and foreign research institutes for continuous monitoring projects through wearable systems. ComfTech ® is selected through phase 1 of a grant application, obtaining funding by the EU Horizon 2020 programme. The year 2015 also sees the beginning of a partnership for a new sensors system development (breathing rate, perspiration, printed electronics).
