Smart Shirts for Health
Smart Technology has emerged in every area of life today, even into Clothing industry. We tend to loose track of health and fitness, but some smart clothes donot let us ignore health longer. Hexoskin has introduced a smart shirt that keeps track of our heart rate and breathing count...it can also help one keep an eye on the sleep patterns and sleep functioning of the body. It collects all this data and transports to a smartphone using and App, with the help of a small chip that fits into a small pocket in the shirt.
We donot know when would such smart clothes be easily available and affordable but people who are afraid of heart checkups, sticking electrodes and piercing nodes for health checks can escape from all those with these smart shirts and easily keep track of their heart health etc. Like the treadmill test Doctors recommend, these smart shirts can track ones heart rate while in motion including no.of steps, acceleration of the body etc. they are machine washable and light weight Italian fabric. such an attractive item, but just the time when we can find them in atleast one store per city is unknown. Kudos to those innovators who are so smart to have invented these smart shirts !!
