More and more things around us become “smarter”. Moreover, if some items just get useful features, others may be good for your health and even save lives. For example, according to news Agency Xinhua, the group of Chinese researchers from company Lenovo Group and Southeast University, Jiangsu province was able to develop smart clothing that monitors the heart and alerts the owner on the first sign of symptoms.
Clothes called Smart Vest. It looks like a regular compression t-shirt, but it built a variety of wireless electrodes and sensors that monitor ECG, the recording sounds of heart beat, blood pressure and breath in continuously for 24 hours. In addition, the smartphone installed special app that uploads all data to cloud storage. Unloading occurs once a day, after which the tee begins a new cycle of registration.
Already in the repository artificial intelligence system analyzes the data and outputs the result. In addition, the bearers of smart clothing can track your performance and send them to the doctor. One of the authors Dr. Liu Chenhui notes that the app is able to diagnose and even predict serious damage to the heart.
“The best time to identify and treat a heart attack — 8 hours before cardiac arrest. But the abnormal activity of the heart muscle becomes visible on the ECG 2-3 days before the attack. We created a system able to constantly monitor the person and warn him in case of danger. T-shirt has already passed a series of tests on volunteers and showed great results.”
