How does smart clothes work to monitor people's health?

"Dressed" technologies are clothing, footwear or accessories that incorporate microcontrollers and technological elements with applications in very diverse fields, such as a reflective vest for cyclists that can help them signal the turns.

Although clothing technology is more focused on artistic and fun, it also covers social and health, with the aim of more constantly monitoring people's health, so scientists have developed from shirts to control vital constantsEven shoes that analyze the tread to detect possible pathologies.

The interesting thing is to incorporate something in the fabric, such as a microcontroller that is capable of making decisions or making calculations, in addition to other elements such as sensors, led lights or something that emits sound.
