Sometimes revolutions start with such little messages. Sensatex announced the first product. A T-Shirt that is able to measure your health related data simple while you wear it. And yes - it just looks like a T-Shirt and not like a robot cover...

Our first product, the Sensatex SmartShirt is a patented wearable Smart Textile unisex T-shirt designed to acquire physiological information and movement data from the human body.

Originally developed and patented by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and funded by DARPA, the primary research and development arm of the Department of Defense, the SmartShirt is made using any type of fiber. It is woven or knitted incorporating a patented conductive fiber/sensor system designed specifically for the intended biometric information requirements. Heart rate, respiration, and body temperature are all calibrated and relayed in real time for analysis.

The next entry about personal healtcare computing (PHC) today. Will the trend start to reach new hights? Just imagine a usual t-shirt that alerts your doctor automaticly when your data becomes critical.
With such a shirt complete new options for tele-medicine will arise. Even if your not ill at all you can work on your body health - just think about all the people that move not enough. Now you can see every day what your lifestyle means to your health.

How about to build a counter inside? This counter could count down the days until you day. The number increases after healthy food and sports but decreases after a fast food party... You would start to see your life with different eye's, would you?
