The 'Viscero' vest has been designed by Ireland-based Design Partners as a wearable ECG solution that would enable advanced readings to be taken in a discreet way. The shirt is positioned as a replacement to the traditional Holter monitors that are the standard for tracking atrial events but are quite clunky. The shirt makes use of sticky electrodes that would stick against the body underneath a plain white T-shirt and would be a far more effective option for tracking abnormal heartbeats and more.
The 'Viscero' vest was explained further by the team at Design Partners who said, "How might we create an accurate, unintrusive, and non-invasive solution that could monitor you for weeks or even months?...Now you can run for the bus, walk your dog, hug your children and unwind on the sofa, without giving Viscero a second thought."
