The e-Bra

May 18th, 2012

Oh, yes. Sensor technologies are getting better and researchers recently tested them in clothing. Specifically, a bra that monitors cardiac health.

According to research out of the University of Arkansas:

“The system monitors blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen consumption, some neural activity and all the readings provided by a conventional electrocardiograph (ECG), including the ability to display inverted T waves, which indicate the onset of cardiac arrest. The system does not require a cuff or any extra accessories to measure blood pressure and could therefore replace conventional blood-pressure monitors. It could also replace the cumbersome combination of ECG sensors and wires attached to patients while they walk on treadmills.”
