A plastic shower curtain or glass enclosure is a necessity that few households are without. This creates a prime opportunity to pair the common shower curtain with technology’s advancements. Bio-Gel Bath Works brings to the market a bioluminescent shower curtain that is a renewable source of energy. Using ground-breaking research from esteemed universities, fine circuitry embedded within the curtain can gather data regarding the health of the algae and use an embroidered antenna to transmit that information to a smartphone using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
