A Wearable Tech Shirt That Could Potentially Save Your Life

Technology is everywhere. With the new announcement of Apple’s smart watch and the fact that now we can talk to our watches and tell it commands and communicate with the outside world via our wrists, it’s only a matter of time before everything becomes tech savvy. Maybe that time is now. Technology has entered the world in a brand new way, via the tee shirt; and it could save your life.

The Hexoskin is a new body tee shirt meant for those that are working out. The shirt has some unique features. It’s not just sweat resistant and able to keep your body temperature regulated or prevent you from becoming soaked in the rain. This exercise shirt is going to save your life with its built-in technology and high-tech features. The shirt is filled with sensors that are designed to track your every movement and your total performance. The shirt is capable of calculating your heart rate, the amount of calories you are burning at any given moment, and your personal information is sent directly to your smart phone when it is updated as you wear the shirt.

Before you start thinking that you don’t have time to specially wash some sort of high-tech shirt, it’s important to understand that this shirt is washable in the machine. It’s mead of high performance Italian materials that are designed for high-tech use and completely similar to everything else you already own in terms of washing your workout gear. The battery life in the shirt works for approximately 14 hours before it requires that you replace it or charge it, and it’s a shirt that you can wear anywhere.

How can it save your life? The answer is simple; it can save your life by tracking your personal stats as you workout, which will allow you to see if there is something wrong with your health that will require you to stop or to take serious notice.
