Arizona State University researchers have developed a “biometric bodysuit” using integrated and embedded electronic sensors, printed organic opto-electronics, power sources, microfluidic devices, and pumps in clothes.
The “Scentsory Chameleon Bodysuit” acts as a “smart second skin” to enable real-time remote personal health and medical monitoring.
A military camouflage version includes pathogen detectors, flexible electroluminescent display, and a high-density, low-temperature micro fuel cell that acts as a lightweight, long-life power source.
