A bra is part of any woman’s wardrobe, and one of the most essential under garments. But what could be better than getting more than physical support from it? I say stress management courtesy of that little garment.
Apparently scientists have now come up with a bra believed to read the wearer’s moods and prevent over eating as a result of stress. According to BBC, Microsoft researchers have designed a smart bra that can detect stress. The prototype contains removable sensors that monitor heart and skin activity to provide an indication of mood levels.
The aim of t his project was to find out if wearable technology could help prevent stress-related over-eating. Mood data was provided to the wearer via a smartphone app in order to highlight when “emotional eating” was likely to occur.
Not to say they forgot about the men, only that theirs did not work as well. A similar underwear had been invented but was not as effective and it is believed this was because the sensors were located away from the heart. As if that is not technology enough, Last month saw the release of a Twitter-connected bra, that tweeted every time it was unhooked to encourage women to self-examine their breasts.
Well, I hope the smart bra works for all those emotional eaters!
