This may seem like a strange post, however I didnt really know where else to get feed back on this idea of mine!!
A little about me... Im a 3rd year idustrial design student at the University of Alberta and my father is a c5/6 quad ( my inspiration for the project), I am currently researching and developing the possibility of a product that would come in the form of a t shirt and would be able to monitor heart rate, cirrculation, body temp etc. This shirt would consist of basically a computer with sensors integrated into the very fabric of the shirt. With this technology I am proposing that the shirt would actually be able to warn the wearer via a voice command telling them where exactly on the body there is too much pressure being exerted, also to regulate and adjust body temperature (my dad has trouble with this but im not sure if other quads/paras do aswell??) it could store, display and send the info via wireless technology to the closest medical center and could immeadately send for help if needed.
I was hopeing to get some feedback on a product like this, would it be useful? what would you like it to look like? and what material should it be? Also a little info about other technologies that you might be using ( entertainment, computers, health) and what you would like to use?
If anyone at all could reply with their thoughts that would be awsome!! Ive been collaborating with my dad on this, but it would be great to get some other feedback !!
Thank you in advance and take care
