Smart underpants become personal monitor

A man’s brief that is constantly in contact with the skin could turn to be a saver for life. The technology is developed by nano-engineering professor Joseph Wang of University of California San Diego and his team. The method is similar to conventional screen-printing onto a brief band, although the ink contains carbon electrodes that served as electronic biosensor to measure blood pressure, heart rate and other vital signs. The new design breaks new ground in the field of intelligent textiles and is part of shift in focus in healthcare from hospital-based treatment to home-based management.

U.S. military with American troops likely to be the first recipients."This specific project involves monitoring the injury of soldiers during battlefield surgery and the goal is to develop minimally invasive sensors that can locate, in the field, and identify the type of injury" Wang told Reuters Television. But the technology's range of application goes beyond the military. "We envision all the trend of personalized medicine for remote monitoring of the elderly at home, monitoring a wide range of biomedical markers, like cardiac markers, alerting for any potential stroke, diabetic changes and other changes related to other biomedical scenario," said Wang.
