Underwear That Monitors Your Health
from the smart-clothes dept
Forget those little Life Alert "I've fallen and I can't get up" devices. Researchers are now working on sensors that can be sewn directly into clothing to monitor the health of the wearer. They even say that the sensors don't need to touch the skin and can catch something like someone having a heart attack and immediately alert someone via a mobile phone connection.

Anachronistic cliches?
So this means nurses just stick a tab on someone's shirt sleeve to get their diastolic/systolic readings? What happens to the old cartoon of the hospital patient who makes lewd comments at a nurse, so the nurse gets revenge by pumping the BP sleeve way too high?
