MIT’s Smart Clothes: 95% Accurate Health Monitoring

MIT researchers have developed a revolutionary fiber computer that can be woven directly into clothes, allowing everyday garments to monitor health, analyze movement, and potentially save lives in extreme conditions. Unlike typical wearable devices that attach to the wrist or chest, these fiber computers distribute throughout clothing, creating a network that can gather more comprehensive data about the wearer’s condition. “Our bodies broadcast gigabytes of data through the skin every second in the form of heat, sound, biochemicals, electrical potentials, and light, all of which carry information about our activities, emotions, and health,” explains Yoel Fink, a professor of materials … Continue reading MIT’s Smart Clothes: 95% Accurate Health Monitoring
