Blood-Pressure Sensing Underpants

Blood-Pressure Sensing Underpants

Looks like a pair of underpants isn't just meant to keep your privates in place anymore these days, as scientists have come up with a rather novel method of sensing your blood pressure, by including a blood pressure sensing system in a pair of underpants. These sensors are sewn into the waistband of the person's underpants, and will get to work detecting the wearer's "pulse wave velocity" which is closely linked to blood pressure. This enables the garment to calculate the blood pressure continuously as long as it is worn. No idea when this idea will be commercialized though.
