Summary
This study tested a wearable smart textile sensor system called SimpleSense in 334 people. The device uses special sensors in a harness to record heart signals, breathing, and body movement. Researchers compared its readings to standard hospital monitors to see if it works just as well. The goal is to provide a comfortable, wireless way to keep track of heart and lung health.
