remote monitoring of patients. training support for athelete. monitoring of individuals who work with hazardous elements.
Use of wearable monitoring devices allow continuous monitoring of physiological signals. Wearable systems are totally non-obtrusive devices that allow physicians to overcome the limitations of ambulatory technology.
A biosensor is a device for the detection of an analyte that combines a biological component with a physio-chemical detector component.

develop adaptive & responsive systems that can think & act based on the user conditions stimuli & environment.
Certain individuals are susceptible to anaphylaxis reaction (an allergic reaction) when stung by a bee or spider and need a shot of adrenaline immediately to prevent further fatalities. by applying advancements in MEMS(Micro-Electrochemical systems) technology we can achieve that.
The Smarts shirts delta acquisition capabilities can be used to detect the condition when an individual is lapsing into a diabetic shock and this integrated feedback mechanism can provide the appropriate response to prevent a fatality.
Just as special-purpose chips and processors can be plugged into a computer motherboard to obtain the the required information processing capability, the smart shirt is an information infrastructure in which the wearer can plug in the desired sensors and devices, thereby creating a system for monitoring vital signs in an efficient and cost effective manner with a universal interface of clothing. Just as the spreadsheet pioneered the field of information processing that brought computing to the masses.It is anticipated that the smart shirt will bring personalized & affordable healthcare monitoring to the population at large.
