When incorporated into the design of clothing, the technology could quietly monitor the wearer's heart rate, EKG, respiration, temperature, and a host of vital functions, alerting the wearer or physician if there is a problem.
Whenever vital signs are useful or needed the shirt and it's technology will make sense. Think about sport or even policemen and fire-worker. You can monitor elderly or people with heart problems and communicate to the doctor. It's just too much to write it down here. You can read the whole weblog and will find so many applications...
The data collected is relayed to a controller unit that is kept in the pocket of the shirt. The unit also contains accelerometers - a type of motion sensor - which can detect movements.
Just think for a second about how small computer chip's already are and how small they can become. Pretty close from now this "controller unit" will be invisible (and washable too ;-).
It's not here yet but close enough and it sounds better then the LifeShirt.

Possible uses for the system include home health monitoring for the elderly, observing outpatients in post-operative and chronic illness situations, training support for athletes, remote monitoring for first responders, hazard materials workers, and soldiers in the field, and watching professional truck drivers' vital signs to alert them of fatigue.
