VR Interfaces: VivoMetric LifeShirt
Overview
Overview
of VivoMetric LifeShirt
The LifeShirt is a garment (not necessarily a shirt) developed by VivoMetrics,
which monitors tyhe wearer's vital signs. Collecting a continuous stream of
respiration flow, heart rate, breathing regularity, sweat production and other
key metrics.
Weighing just 8 ounces, it is lightweight enough to be worn comfortably, and
is machine washable with other clothing. It works due to arrays of embedded
sensors and processing hardware actually weaved into the fabric itself, almost
as another kind of thread.
To measure respiratory function, sensors are woven into the shirt around the
wearer’s chest and abdomen. A single-channel ECG measures heart rate, and
a three-axis accelerometer records posture and activity level.
The LifeShirt Recorder/Transmitter continuously encrypts and transmits the
wearer’s physiologic data to a remote command center. Data is also stored
on the recorder’s compact flash memory card, which is small enough to fit
in the wearer's pocket.
Health data is transmitted encrypted, to preserve privacy, and updated once
a second to ensure the highest standard of healthcare. |
