Sensors woven into a shirt can monitor vital signs
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
MIT researchers have developed a way to incorporate electronic sensors into stretchy fabrics, allowing them to create shirts or other garments that could be used to monitor vital signs such as temperature, respiration, and heart rate.The sensor-embedded garments, which are machine washable, can be c
