ChromaHeat AI, designed by Ching Lee, Jeanne Tan, and Jun Jong Tan in Hong Kong, has been awarded the Bronze A' Wearable Technologies Design Award 2025 for its groundbreaking AI-driven heating jacket that combines adaptive warmth, real-time visual feedback, and energy efficiency to enhance user comfort and safety in everyday and healthcare settings.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ChromaHeat AI is an innovative intelligent heating jacket that redefines wearable comfort by integrating artificial intelligence with advanced thermochromic yarn technology. Unlike traditional heating textiles that require manual adjustments and offer limited temperature feedback, ChromaHeat AI employs a self-trained AI system to automatically regulate warmth based on the wearer's age, gender, and environmental conditions. This ensures optimal thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and safety for users in a variety of settings, from daily commutes to healthcare environments.
The jacket's unique construction features woven and embroidered thermochromic yarns, polymeric optical fibers, and silver-coated conductive heating yarn. These materials work together to provide vivid, real-time color transitions that visually indicate temperature changes-shifting from pale purple to hot pink in lit conditions and blue to yellow to red in the dark. Embedded sensors and an artificial neural network (ANN) model, trained with data from 50 wearability test subjects, enable the system to intelligently adapt heating levels to the user's needs and surroundings, delivering personalized comfort and intuitive visual feedback.
ChromaHeat AI's development addressed significant challenges, including the creation of a proprietary dataset for AI training and the integration of high-visibility thermochromic indicators. The result is a user-friendly, energy-efficient garment that not only enhances everyday comfort but also offers critical benefits for healthcare applications, where precise temperature regulation and monitoring are essential. Its recognition with the Bronze A' Wearable Technologies Design Award highlights its contribution to advancing smart textile innovation and improving quality of life through technology-driven design.
