Clothes that can keep track of your health may soon enter the market. To date, developments in this field were just restricted to measuring a wearer's body temperature, electro-cardiogram, electromyogram, breath rhythm, etc, mainly, to detect cardiovascular risk. A new European project BIOTEX has plans of weaving new functions into these smart textiles. It aims at developing dedicated biochemical-sensing techniques compatible with integration into textile that is comfortable and safe to the wearer. Miniaturised biosensors in a textile patch will analyse body fluids, even a tiny drop of sweat, and provide a much better assessment of someone's health. There will be several sensors embedded within the fabric, constantly monitoring your vital signs. If danger signs are detected, the garment will be programmed to contact your doctor – and send a text message telling you to take it easy.
Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’. Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.
