Abstract
This research explores applications of CAD technologies in a multidisciplinary approach in collaboration with researchers in medical design and technical textile engineers. New wearable medical cooling materials have been
proposed to replace non-recyclable materials where testing and CAD tools enabled a collaborative approach for suitability between design, fashion, engineering, and manufacturing. Extensive literature explored the parameters for developing a new material and scalp cooling cap cover design for the prevention of chemotherapyinduced Alopecia, where medical SMEs can embed knowledge for cross-discipline development in healthcare. Extensive technical textiles testing and analysis were conducted predominantly for thermal insulation and water vapor permeability, exploring the properties of the fabrics in a comparative way in a heavily regulated
design industry.
