Underwear 'can detect heart attack and call ambulance'
Story filed: 12:06 Friday 10th October 2003
Dutch scientists have developed underwear that calls an ambulance if the wearer has a heart attack.
The Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven has developed bras, vests and pants that register and analyse the wearer's heartbeat.
The sensors are linked, via wireless technology, to a mobile phone which automatically makes contact with an alarm centre or an ambulance in an emergency.
Director Karel Joosse told Algemeen Dagblad: "They are so easy to use, the patients wouldn't realise they are wearing special underwear."
Mr Joosse says the system is designed to help cure more people at home rather than in hospitals, and expects it to be widely used in Holland and Germany within two years.

Wow, I feel so proud to be Dutch now... I think... 
You know, there is also Astronomical underwear. Its true! They're called Pluto Panties. It seems that they are able to detect "disturbences" around Uranus.
God, I love Uranus jokes!

Fascinating topic. Could do with more like these.
Kismit? We are doing 'it' again, thinking alike........ lol! Scary?
Cufflink? Glad to know you are no longer........ embarrassed
Speaking of underware? I still have underware made by my grandmother in the late 1800's......... Very clean and very uncomfortable in appearance. I can guarantee that these antiques never detected much of anything....

Yeah, because that would matter.
Why underwear...why not a wrist watch that measures pressure in the pulse..or something...you'd almost think they decided to go out of their way to design a serious product, that people could still make jokes over

Well? Panties have days of the week...... among other things, printed on them. Why not bras? Or...... Maybe "left" and "right" ?????

So Phantom forgets his watch, and seeing a beautiful woman, runs up to her and says, 'could I get the time from you?'
