MIT researchers develop wearable fibre computer for health monitoring

MIT researchers have developed an autonomous programmable fibre computer integrated into clothing, capable of monitoring health and activity. The fibre, containing sensors, a microcontroller, memory, and Bluetooth, can autonomously recognise exercises and alert wearers to health risks. The wearable, machine-washable, and elastic design offers real-time health insights.
