New Garments for Emergency Workers

The European Space Agency is developing a new garment for emergency workers (from a blog called No Sheep!).

Here is a description from the European Space Agency website:

I-GARMENT will develop full-bodied smart garments equipped with sensors to monitor position, vital signals (temperature and heart beat) of the agents. This information will be sent via a wireless link to Civil Protection Officers in the HQ, processed and returned to the field officers equipped with PDAs and/or TabletPCs.

Check out their website to see some pictures and get a bunch more info.

You mention my blog, and place a trackback, but no link to me?

While I'm here, nice site, clean design. I like your logo a lot.

Zach,

Thanks for the nice comments about the site. I sure appreciate it.

There is a link back to your site. It is hiding in the link on the words "new garment" in the original post.

Just so there isn't any confusion, here is a link to your site (No Sheep!).

Joe
