With wearable technology spreading all over the body, from bra to socks, from wrist to chest, without forgetting ankles and ears, the industry of embedded wearable devices connected to a smartphone is also growing quite rapidly. It is quite interesting to notice that wearable technology contemporary development are not related to fitness only, rather they cover several health-related needs, especially for new-borns and elderly.
Italy is contributing to this new trend, too, with the help of Heapsylon, the company that developed "Sensoria, a family of body-sensing devices for health and fitness". They use wearable textile sensors to capture, monitor and communicate data such as heart rate, force and pressure, activity type, level pressure to the user, after having analysed and summarized them on an easy-to-use dashboard.
