Smart tshirt for Health
A group of experimenters has developed a new material they say is as soft as cotton but as strong as Kevlar and as conductive as numerous essence. It can be worn and washed like normal apparel and could ultimately turn athletic vesture into smart”wearables.” The so- called” carbon nanotube vestments” work also to the cables in an electrocardiogram (EKG) monitoring device, which measures heart measures to descry heart conditions. But rather of having to be renovated onto the skin, they can be darned into a t-shirt and worn like normal athletic wear, according to a new study from inquiries at a Rice University Brown School of Engineering lab. And unlike cables, they say the vestments can comfortably move with the wearer, and be washed, stretched and worn constantly without breaking down.Though likely a ways out from going into product for consumers, the material could ultimately help replace big EKG Holter monitors in medical settings and heart- rate monitoring watches and casket strips for athletes, in addition to other implicit uses.“Another intriguing operation of this technology …
