High Tech Bra to Monitor Stress Levels
The newest high-tech aid to help with dieting is a prototype "electronic brassiere" which has been developed by software giant Microsoft. The so-called smart bra, pictured left, contains an electrocardiogram and electrodermal skin sensors to monitor the heart and skin, providing an indication of stress levels, according to the BBC. "Mood data" is then relayed to the wearer via a smartphone application, to warn the wearer when there's a danger of stress-related "emotional eating".
The researchers said that using a bra was ideal because it allowed better placement of the sensors.
