Md. Eanamul Haque Nizam, Assistant Professor in the Department of Textile Engineering at Southeast University, is participating in the Bangladesh Innovation Fair 2026 with an innovative Smart Medical Vest developed by a university research team.
Among approximately 600 ideas submitted from across Bangladesh, the Smart Medical Vest was selected as one of the Top 50 Innovations after reviewers evaluated it. The research team led by Md. Eanamul Haque Nizam, with Mr. Md. Abir Abbas, an alumnus of the Department of Textile Engineering, and Jannatul Naima, an alumna of the department. The vest is designed to provide continuous patient monitoring, supporting telemedicine, remote treatment, and home-based patient care.
MDPI’s journal Textiles has already accepted the concept for publication, and the innovation is currently in the provisional patent stage. The achievement highlights the growing potential of textile engineering and smart textile research in healthcare and demonstrates Southeast University’s commitment to innovation. With continued research and development, Southeast University could emerge as a leading textile research and innovation hub for Bangladesh’s future.
