Computer thread are braided with metal and textile wires to make potential clothes

Long computers can be used in clothes that can be used in clothes, which most medical sensors cannot record full-body data.
Portable TechnologiesFor example, smartwatches, monitor body signals heart rate or temperature, but usually only from one place. This can provide an incomplete way to how the body works.
Now, Yoel fine Massachusetts have developed a computer that can be squeezed in the Institute of Technology and his colleagues, a chips that are connected to a corner and fiber elastic wire.
The threads boat has 256 kilobyte, around a simple calculator, as well as sensors that can be detected by temperature, heart rate and body movements. It also has Bluetooth to communicate various threads.
This means that you can collectively collect location data in the body, which could use theoretically Artificial intelligence To control a person’s health more accurately, says FINK. “We are close to a point where we started to write applications and control our health and a phone, actually can’t do it.”
To make individual threads, FINK and his team directed the chips and connected them to a copper wire. Then they gathered the wire in a plastic cover, with a thinner tube that can be covered with fabric, such as cotton or synthetic fiber.
To put it in the test, a four fiber came into the legs and arms of a person’s clothing. The researchers found that they can identify different movements of people, such as lungs, squats and arm circles.
The group is now testing the wires made in an expedition of Ariko, a military exercise aimed at the operation of the Canadian Canada force. The clothes will record temperatures and data from different parts of the body, the FINK has been useful to protect people in extreme environments.

In addition to the recording exercise, it can be useful to detect when a weak person had a dangerous fall, he says Theo Hughes-Riley Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom.
Not having renting sensors design is much simpler than other electronic fabrics, he says. The researchers have also shown that the wires can be cleaned, but they only used water, not the laundry. In everyday use must be demonstrated before their sustainability is well accepted, says Hughes-Riley.
