schadeaux Posted October 10, 2003 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2003 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.

Pale_Horse Posted October 10, 2003 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2003 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
