Knit Alarm Cardigan Merges Fashion And Medical Technology

Design Research Lab are the ones behind what they call the Knit Alarm, which is a re-imagining of traditional medical alarms that relies on contemporary materials instead. In order to trigger a “call for help”, one needs to either stretch the sensor that has been woven into the left cuff, or to simply touch the upper chest with your wrist. These sensors will most probably be conductive thread if we can make a safe assumption, and they are knit directly into the cardigan itself. The knit cardigan relies on Bluetooth connectivity to hook up to a smartphone that will then initiate a phone call to a pre-selected contact.
