Sensatex Announces SmartShirt Field Trials
Sensatex, Inc. announced today that it would shortly begin field trials of its patented SmartShirt System(TM). The SmartShirt System is a seamless shirt designed to monitor an individual’s heart rate, respiration and movement wirelessly and remotely. The field tests are the final step before the product will be commercially available.
Based on patents licensed from Georgia Tech University and additional patents filed by Sensatex, the SmartShirt collects physiological signals from the wearer’s body which are converted to digital signals using a small personal controller and sent wirelessly to a base station through either Bluetooth(R) or ZigBee(TM) wireless technology.
