Ikshana: Seamless E-Textile Solutions for Pelvic Floor Health is a medical textile product designed to strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles in women experiencing urinary incontinence, particularly post-partum women, though it is suitable for women above 18. The project integrates IoT-enabled conductive fabric electrodes into innerwear-style garments, providing real-time adaptive electrical stimulation while maintaining second-skin comfort and daily wearability. The design employs CMF concepts, biocompatible materials, and blended organic fibers for comfort, with optimized electrode placement for efficacy. The development process involved sourcing materials from national and international vendors, testing fabric stretchability and biocompatibility, iterative design refinement, and clinical engagement with doctors to ensure compliance with medical and Indian MedTech standards. Ikshana distinguishes itself through portability, seamless integration into daily wear, and ease of use, addressing limitations of existing bulky or externally connected pelvic floor stimulation devices.
