Designed by Israel-based company Sensible Medical, The Sensivest is a wearable tech-infused vest that's preventing post-surgery complications in out-patients.
People who have suffered heart failure face a 50 percent chance of ending up back in the hospital due to dangerous fluid build-ups in their lungs. This high-tech vest can allegedly end this issue as it's capable of remotely monitoring a heart patient's symptoms using radar. The medical vest can look straight through a person's chest and into their lungs using the same technology that the military uses to look through walls.
The vest is designed for outpatient use, meaning it can be worn by patients in their homes, eliminating the need for lengthy and frequent hospital visits, while enhancing comfort.
