Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve
While you cannot wear your heart on your sleeve, you can wear measurement tools on your sleeve to make sure your heart is healthy. Here, scientists were able to get reliable health data from electrodes sewn into shirts while participants stretched and performed athletic activities. Heart rate data was collected using BIOPAC’s MP160 and AcqKnowledge 5.0 software. In the future, not only could a person be fashion forward but health conscious as well.
