We are starting to see a new merging of the fashion world and the medical world as new technology becomes enhanced as well as accessible to a larger portion of the population. Clothing is being developed which can monitor your heart rate and overall well-being in order to inform you of medical problems as soon as they arise. While many people are starting to use this new clothing in the gym, it points to the potential for daily wear that is designed to protect your health on a regular basis.
You can learn more about this monitoring clothing here.
Right now it seems far-fetched to say that imaging technology could also one day be a part of your clothing. The training that is required to properly use imaging equipment makes it impossible for the average person to safely utilize it in their clothing. But that doesn't mean that there won't be a day when some version of imaging scans can be used by the average person. Seems impossible now but it wasn't that long ago that heart monitors in your gym clothes seemed like something out of a space movie.
Question of the Day: What do you think of the merging of fashion and medicine?
