Microsoft is designing
a bra that will help women stay on track.
The bra is designed to detect women’s emotions and help them stay away
from binge eating or eating out of stress, boredom, or being on edge. They chose the bra because it should be
something comfortable and something women can wear every day. The bra is also close to the heart which
needs to be tracked. To stay away from
the comfort food the bra has many sensors.
An
electrocardiogram (EKG) sensor under the arm measured their heart rate, while
an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor tracked their perspiration. The
bra was very good at detecting mood changes.
How does it work? The bra will send the smart phone a message alerting
the woman to step away from the fridge or too make good decisions. There has been a lot of feedback on the
concept of the bra because it is not yet perfected nor is it Microsoft’s
biggest worry.
