在欧盟委员会的资助下，一个由23个欧洲合作伙伴组成的财团，包括大学、研究机构、工业和应急管理领域的组织，正在为紧急救灾人员开发新一代“智能”服装。服装集成了新开发的可穿戴和纺织品解决方案，如商用便携式传感器和设备，以持续监测危及救援人员生命的风险。该系统能够检测用户的健康状态参数（心率、呼吸率、体温、血氧饱和度、位置、活动和姿势）和环境变量（外部温度、有毒气体的存在和穿过服装的热通量），以处理数据并将有用的信息远程传输给运营管理者。欧洲一体化项目，称为ProeTEX（保护电子纺织品：用于紧急灾害服装的微纳米结构纤维系统），于2006年2月开始，将于2010年7月结束。在这4.5年的时间里，连续三代传感器服装正在发布。本文概述了该项目，并介绍了第二代原型，在2008年底交付。
Financed by the European Commission, a consortium of 23 European partners, consisting of universities, research institutions, industries, and organizations operating in the field of emergency management, is developing a new generation of "smart" garments for emergency-disaster personnel. Garments integrate newly developed wearable and textile solutions, such as commercial portable sensors and devices, in order to continuously monitor risks endangering rescuers' lives. The system enables detection of health-state parameters of the users (heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature, blood oxygen saturation, position, activity, and posture) and environmental variables (external temperature, presence of toxic gases, and heat flux passing through the garments), to process data and remotely transmit useful information to the operation manager. The European-integrated project, called ProeTEX (Protection e-Textiles: Micro-Nano-Structured fiber systems for Emergency-Disaster Wear) started on February, 2006 and will end on July, 2010. During this 4.5 years period, three subsequent generations of sensorized garments are being released. This paper proposes an overview of the project and gives a description of the second-generation prototypes, delivered at the end of 2008.
