Being in a hospital definitely means there's something wrong with you. Especially after seeing all those big, scary machines with wires all over them. But now, thanks to a team at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in Spain, hospital is less scary and people are no longer attached to big wiry thingy and sit on their bed all the time.

| Smart Shirt |
What this team invented was something called "Smart shirt". This shirt can help doctors in monitoring patient's heart rate, blood pressure and temperature. On top of that, using wireless connection, they can perform echocardiogram (EKG) remotely, eliminating the need for staff to present during the test.
This smart shirt isequipped with GPS, well the actual reason is from it being stolen, but it is also used to track patients because they can wander around easily with this shirt. And if the patient wearing this cloth suffers from heart attack, fall, or any medical problems that require immediate attention, hospital staff can find him/her quickly using GPS. Also equipped with accelerometer, nurses or doctors can monitor if this patient is standing up, sitting, or lying down.

| For every medical check up in a hospital, you'll get a free treatment for stress and a pleasing view. |
Hopefully this shirt can help to make hospital less scary and more people will want to go to hospital for regular check up. But i definitely want this to be my own personal property!
