Now Your Clothing Can Monitor Your Health

When you think of a health monitoring device, your mind probably goes to the vast range of devices worn on the wrist like watch, but what if you want an unobtrusive solution? Well according to a recent Medgadget article, you may soon be able to gather vital health data straight from your clothing. This is thanks to the development of flexible carbon nanotube fibers, similar to sewing thread, that can be incorporated into garments. The “threads” are highly conductive and strong enough to hold a garment together, but still fully machine washable.
