Smart fabric turns clothing into a real‑time blood pressure monitor

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a battery-free smart shirt capable of monitoring blood pressure in real time. The system utilizes ultra-thin sensors and a specialized "metamaterial" fabric that wirelessly draws power from a nearby smartphone, eliminating the need for constant recharging. By integrating medical-grade tracking directly into textiles, this innovation paves the way for passive health monitoring that remains accurate even during intense physical activity.
