Pants That Can Save Your Life.
Great story from The Register about underwear that monitors your heart-rate. "The garment will automatically call emergency services when necessary, for example if the wearer suffers a cardiac arrest.
The device uses sensors woven into the fabric of the underwear. These detect electrical fluctuations on the skin, which are used to tell how rapidly and with what force the heart is beating.
However, an obstacle for the developers is the need for software to distinguish between increased heart rates due to stress or physical activity".
I'm just a little concerned that the Emergency Services are going to get called out every time I get a hard-on.
It could put untold stress on an already over-burdened ambulance service.
