According to Health Data Management, Sensatex is looking for beta testers for its SmartShirt System.
Sensatex is using technology developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology to weave tiny conductive fibers into the cotton
fabric of a shirt to enable monitoring of physiological activity. Funded by DARPA for the 21st Century Land Warrior Program, the technology allows sensing, monitoring, and information processing devices to be networked together within a fabric.

The
conductive fiber collects data on a wearer's movement, heart rate and
respiration rate in real time. The shirt, minus the snap-on device, is
washable, according to the Bethesda, Md.-based vendor.

Field testing is planned for later this year. Parties interested in testing the technology can send an e-mail to Robert Kalik, CEO at
Sensatex, at rkalik@sensetex.com.
