I know the headline above is going to immediately grab the attention of all my fitness fanatic friends who religiously read my blog. They get a kick out of it when sedentary me tells them something new in fitness.

This is a biggie. Several fashion manufacturers are working on clothing pieces that will track health and fitness levels. I’m talking about precisely recording your heart rate, calories burned, and levels of stress. I also think this is pretty terrific for people who, from time to time, do not feel well due to overly exerting themselves. The numbers on a companion app will tell them whether they just need to relax or call for an ambulance.

The company that is getting all of the attention lately is OMsignal of Montreal. They were recently written up in Business Insider. They call their new make collection “biometric smartwear” featuring high-performance compression shirts. Female clothing is coming soon.

OMsignal currently has four different styles of male shirts including an undershirt, a sleeveless shirt, a casual t-shirt and a longsleeved shirt. Health sensors are embedded into the fabric. A little black box clips onto the shirt then transmits the data to a smartphone.

The shirts are available now for $199. Four designs are available in white, black and grey with orange or indigo stitching.

In my opinion, wearable health sensors save lives all the time. If something is out of order, it gets spotted immediately. You can’t beat that in a wellness program.
