Sensoria introduces smart garments with fitness app

The new app features a cardiologist created and tested algorithm called Heart Sentinel, which connects to heart rate monitoring (HRM) garments and detects certain cardiac irregularities that often precede catastrophic events.

“Sensoria's new cardiologist designed, patent-pending algorithm will constantly monitor the user's probability of cardiac irregularities during exercise, offering a real-time alert countdown to confirm that he or she is still conscious, or it alerts selected family or friends through text message, urging them to seek help. Heart Sentinel may also contribute to locate the person through GPS coordinates. Backers of the crowdfunding campaign will be the first to benefit from the new algorithm and will contribute to refine the Sensoria Fitness app,” said Nicola Gaibazzi, MD and cardiologist at University of Parma hospital, Italy.

Sensoria's garments are made with Emana yarn and uses far infrared technology. Along with keeping the wearer dry, comfortable and protected from the sun's harmful UV rays, Emana yarn improves skin elasticity to reduce the appearance of cellulite and aid with muscle fatigue prevention.

“Everyday athletes can finally get advanced cardio training through comfortable heart rate zone, heart rate variability and cardiac irregularity alert tracking. We designed this new smart garment line with distance runners, cyclists, and fitness enthusiasts in mind,” said Davide Vigano, CEO and co-founder of Sensoria.

“We allow you to ditch the chest strap because our Sensoria Fitness Sports Bra or T-Shirt replaces it with comfortable and washable electrodes embedded in the fabric. We are proud to partner with lead cardiologists Nicola Gaibazzi and Claudio Reverberi to take smart garment technology to the next level,” Vigano added.

“Sensoria has always been at the forefront in developing new smart garment, sensor-infused technology. We saw a desire for fitness enthusiasts to not only have access to the latest tech, but also be fashion forward. Our garments paired with the new Sensoria Fitness app seamlessly combine these needs and offer high-quality, comfortable heart rate monitoring available in exciting new colors and sleek styles,” said Maurizio Macagno, CTO and co-founder of Sensoria.
