VitalJacket: Heart Monitor And T-Shirt in One

Some of the same kind of health telemetry that the French army may be using could be yours in the new VitalJacket product. It's a smart T-shirt with a built-in electrocardiogram monitor, designed for both medical diagnostics and sports fitness uses. It's supposed to be less awkward than conventional devices, as well as more comfortable. The HWM200 version sends data on the wearer's heart over a Bluetooth link to a phone or PDA, allowing real-time monitoring. The 100 version stores it on an SD card for later analysis on a PC and allows the wearer to define heart rate limits which trigger a vibration alarm in the shirt. Both editions are available for pre-order for around $635. [Vitaljacket via Talk2myshirt]

Monitor Heart Safety By Turning Your Cellphone Into an ECG

Most of us would never need an electrocardiogram embedded into our cellphones to monitor our hearts, but most of us aren't recovering from a heart attack. For those people that are, this Swedish invention that turns any old cellphone into a monitor that can automatically call a doctor or the hospital if your heart explodes is something they'd pay loads and loads of Swedish kronas for. Or meatballs. We think they're pretty much interchangeable. [The Inquirer]

Portable, Waterproof Electrocardiograph

Ever wanted to take a bath while wearing your electrocardiograph? Or did you ever just want to see how your body reacts to taking the plunge into a tub of cold pudding? Or do you really not care and are reading this instead of doing end-of-year reports? Well, you're in luck! Fukuda Denshi Co. in Japan has started selling a portable, waterproof electrocardiograph that can be worn while the user takes a bath and records your physical condition on the fly. Of course, it can be also used outside the bath, but that's no fun. More »

Radar Sark: Pocket Electrocardiogram

Wanna be the next Doogie Howser on the block? Start saving for this "pocket" electrocardiogram (EKG) called the Radar Sark. Silly product names aside, this thing is particularly useful at saving your life. It can check your heart to make sure it's performing correctly and to see if any abnormalities are present. Extremely useful in life or death situations where EMTs must make critical decisions. The product is touted as being vibration and impact resistant. So we're assuming it's something to keep in the car for when you crash it. Just be sure to wear your "Yo EMTs! I got an EKG in da trunk, fool!" t-shirt that day. More »
