Recently, we are seeing more and more fashology that incorporates technology into fashion and clothing. The latest addition is the Vital Jacket by Biodevices, an intelligent wearable garment that continuously monitors electrocardiogram (ECG) wave and Heart Rate.
Such bio-monitoring clothing is allows freedom of movement for patients who need constant monitoring and data collection. Another market for such technology is high performance sports and fitness enthusiasts who want to flexibly log their vitals during workouts.
The Vital Jacket® is a wearable vital signs monitoring system that joins textiles with microelectronics. It was designed and developed to be a usable pragmatic approach for different clinical and normal life scenarios, in hospitals, home or on the move, that need continuous or frequent high quality vital signs monitoring.
There are currently two versions available, the HWM100 that stores data on a SD memory card for post-analysis on a PC. This version allows long term monitoring. Users can define heart rate limits and will be alerted through a vibration alarm embedded in the T-Shirt.
The second version is the HWM200 that allows realtime visualization where data is sent via Bluetooth to a PDA or smart phone.
