A recent Medgadget article discussed new smart textiles designed to help monitor the wearer’s health.

The fabrics can be used to produce smart garments that are ideal for everyday use since they’re water repellent, breathable, and machine washable. Imagine a shirt that is designed to make your life easier by monitoring your health and protecting you from accidents as it wirelessly transmits information to your mobile device. Sounds like the future, right? A video with more info can be found here.
