Early detection is one of the most important ways people have
when there is risk of heart diseases because in those crucial
moments, the difference between life and death can depend on a
little time detail; with that in mind, science has proposed to use
the new revolution of "wearable" technology to
provide quick responses to this type situation. The hWear, an Israeli
initiative, is a
shirt that monitors the heart of the wearer and today MIGLOBAL will
give you all the information about this technological advance.
hWear is the result of the hard work of a start-up called HealthWatch,
which developed a material called Tech-tile (pun between textiles
and technology), which monitors heart activity and vital signs of
the user in real time. It is designed in the shape of a shirt that can
be worn under any shirt, blouse or dress and is really comfortable to wear.
The fabric is filled with sensors that report any irregularities,
sending the information via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to the patient and
doctor.
During a cardiac attack, the affected person is often unaware of the
situation, as heart problems may appear in different forms; when this happens,
the aforementioned events may be left without proper medical checkup, and
therefore untreated until the next visit to the doctor, and this time, it could
already be too late.

The creators of hWear are insisting that this invention is not a solution to the
problem itself, because if the wearer is notified of any anomalous
situation, the device only reports the warning, because it is not intended to
rectify or cure one of these cases, but to alert, so that that the affected
person can take action on the matter and consult a specialist. hWear users can
take charge of medical issues before they threaten the patient’s life.
