Are you ready to wear a biometric shirt? I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear. Lots of folks wear heart rate monitor straps or wrist bands when they work out…and now a company called Hexoskin is building sensors right into exercise clothing. Co-founder and CEO Pierre Fournier…
“So it tracks cardiac, breathing and movement activity. It’s counting your steps, your activity level, heart rate, breathing rate, breathing volume. You can even have a view of your ECG trace. And all this data that is live on my phone now is also available live on our server. So we can share it with anybody we want, anywhere in the world on the Internet.”
The tech isn’t cheap though…the starter kit…either men’s or women’s…sells for about four hundred dollars. You’ll lose some weight from your wallet right there. There’s more info at Hexoskin.com. You can find us at BootCamp.com. I’m Fred Fishkin.
