The wearable sensor promises to make clothes smarter

Regular suits will become increasingly smart thanks to advanced sensors that can perform smart features.

Phys.org reports that a sensor developed by Yoshiro Tajitsu of Kansai University in Japan called piezoelectric sensors (which can turn mechanical signals into electrical signals) can be used in fashion, sports clothes, interior design and health care.

This type of sensor can respond to most movements, such as bending or twisting, and they can be used for some operations such as activating a smartphone or monitoring your heart rate.

This sensor design in the form of a braid will not fit all types of clothing, but it seems quite flexible, has been deployed on Japanese kimono and shoelaces, and its makers say They also work with fashion designers in France and Italy to incorporate this sensor cord into clothing more.

Perhaps someday, when this wire-type sensor is fully integrated into clothing types - and the sensor itself provides enough useful functionality, they could be an alternative device to monitor. human health or follow the exercise regime in the future.
