Royal Philips Electronics, a company that develops electronic devices, is working in a new technology to create “smart clothing” in United States. This clothing will be able to gather information on the health condition of who wears it. Some of the products they are working include: an underwear, bed clothes and a T-shirt.
The underwear has four sensors placed around the waist that will gather information to be able to calculate the speed of blood flow in arteries. The healthy blood vessels have elastic properties and the blood runs relatively slow while it presses the arterial walls.
On the other hand, the bed clothes include: sheets, quilts and pillows. They will record the levels of blood chemistry, heart rhythm and perspiration while the person is sleeping.
The pillow and the sheet will measure the heart frequency (neck, ears and feet). Also, there is a device that will measure the breathing rate in the middle of the bed.
