People tend to become uneasy of staying in the hospital for longer periods of time. With

smart clothes, there would be no need for staying inside the hospital as people can easily
get monitored through their clothes. For example, the cycling shorts can measure the work

done by muscles and respiration can be measured by the chest sensors. The changes in
body temperature can be detected along with stress. These are functional yet comfortable

on the skin. The technology is transparent and is extremely simple in use. The PPU battery
needs to remain charged up and the vest needs to remain attached to batteries for it to

work.

The clothes make up for a cable-free system that accu-

rately measures the progress of the patients over
time. The doctors can connect to the patients via vid-

eo conference and solve their queries. The clothes
eliminate the need for visiting the hospitals for moni-

toring health conditions.
With Science developing every day, our lives are be-
coming easier too. Any Science or technology which is sufficiently advanced is indistin-

guishable from magic! Smart clothes are indeed a blessing for patients with chronic mala-
dies. Let us discard our myopic views and start thinking and creating innovative ideas to

help mankind. ‘Smart clothes’ is a small step and the world is waiting for giant leaps to
come!
