OMSignal is a company that developed the t-shirt presented in the video clip above, it being designed especially for those who do fitness, but not only. The T-shirt has implemented a multitude of sensors capable of monitoring our vital functions, from pulse to the intensity of movements, breathing and many, many others. All this information is taken over by an iPhone application that analyzes it and gives us detailed information about our fitness sessions.
The data is sent via Bluetooth to a specially developed iPhone app, which lets you see all of it in real time. Your iPhone beams the data up to the cloud, and algorithms we've developed then push back various metrics — showing you information about your breathing during workouts, and information like that. We've definitely had interest from both tech companies and also fashion companies. I can't talk about Apple, or give you any specifics though.
Apart from fitness, the shirt from OMSignal can monitor our vital functions at any time and can transmit the data to the iPhone application wherever we are, so it is a good "friend" in any conditions. The interesting part of the whole technology is that Apple would have discussed at some point with those from OMSignal. A representative of the company was asked if he had been contacted by Apple and replied saying that he could not provide details about possible discussions, a sign that there was something.
The OMSignal t-shirt will be available for purchase available here at the price of $200.
