The World's First Belt-Type Sensing Wearable Device

Core Concept - D.O.N Co. Ltd. is set to unveil VITAL BELT, the world's first abdominal belt-type sensing wearable device, at CES 2026, which combines apparel development with millimeter-wave sensing technology for non-invasive health monitoring [1][9]. Development Background - The development of VITAL BELT is driven by the challenges of a super-aging society, including the increasing medical burden and the need for preventive care and daily health monitoring [2]. Sensing Technology - VITAL BELT utilizes millimeter-wave sensing technology to measure respiration, pulse, and body movement without direct skin contact, allowing for health data visualization that was previously difficult to capture [3]. Health Analysis Potential - By integrating data from VITAL BELT with existing wrist- or finger-based wearables, the device aims to enhance health management by detecting subtle changes in breathing patterns, stress levels, and postural imbalances, with future applications in medical and wellness fields [4]. User Interface - The device features an intuitive user interface with a neodymium magnet attachment system, allowing the sensing unit to be removed for charging while the belt can be worn as a regular accessory [5]. Application Features - Users can authenticate and calibrate the device through an app, which collects data for health management and provides recommendations based on breathing and sleep data, as well as real-time safety support for elderly users [6]. Development Progress - The company has received inquiries from various firms after unveiling prototype samples in Japan, and is working on enhancing accuracy and usability through user testing and partnerships for employee health monitoring [7]. Future Vision - VITAL BELT aims to redefine wearable technology by merging apparel with health monitoring, envisioning a future where clothing itself can monitor the body [8].
