The era of Bio-monitoring clothing is upon us, and Biodevices may just have their finger on the pulse of this exciting new technology. According to vitaljacket.com, this futuristic bio-sensing device was built and designed at University of Aveiro, Portugal, and was originally designed to test “several physiological signals such as ECG and heart rate, respiration, oxygen saturation, body activity and posture and body temperature. Other sensors can easily be added to this wearable “motherboard”

The scaled down version of the Vital Jacket is being target to Athletes and the medical profession to monitor ECG wave and heart rate.

The applications for this type of technology are obvious, ranging from military to firefighting, and medical industries to athletics. I think that a promising area for the use of this type of technology would be in professional sports like Soccer, where getting the edge is paramount to winning games.
