The decline in birth rates has raised concerns about the safety of infants and young children (0–18 months), particularly those who suffer suffocation or even death during sleep from their own or external causes. How to ensure that infants and young children can safely pass through this dangerous period after birth is the focus of this project. This article focuses on sleeping infants and young children as the subject of research. Blood oxygen sensors and heart rate sensors attached to socks are used to monitor changes in blood oxygen and heart rate when infants and young children experience asphyxia. The changes are then transmitted via Bluetooth to a mobile app and an alarm sound is generated to act as a good warning. At the same time, the researchers received good feedback from testing the garments on two babies and toddlers, indicating they provide an effective warning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the outbreak and ongoing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, a wave of post-COVID-19 zeitgeist has emerged worldwide. From the perspective of fashion trends, an increasing number of consumers are demanding higher standards of health, environmental friendliness, and sustainability. Over the past 10 years, the integration of technology in clothing has facilitated continuous updates in both functionality and aesthetics. This article aims to explore the relationship between clothing technology and sustainable fashion in the post-COVID-19 era, seeking to enhance the development and innovation of sustainable fashion through the empowerment of clothing technology. This study conducts extensive research on the literature and online case studies, categorizing empowered sustainable fashion technology design cases into six major categories and four directional themes. It introduces an innovative sustainable fashion design assessment model, PCBS (Product, Customer, Business, Society). Subsequently, the knowledge framework is applied in design practice alongside consumer research to validate the system's usability. Furthermore, this research synthesizes and summarizes the methods through which fashion technology can support sustainable fashion in the post-pandemic era. Designers and practitioners can reference these insights for more advanced sustainable design initiatives, thereby promoting a lower-carbon and environmentally friendly system that drives global innovation and development in a sustainable society.
