Many of us wear wireless, battery-powered medical sensors on our wrists in the form of our smartwatches or fitness trackers. But someday soon, similar sensors may be woven into our very clothing. Harry's guest this week, Nanowear CEO Venk Varadan, explains that his company's microscopic nanosensors, when embedded in fabric and worn against the skin, can pick up electrical changes that reveal heart rate, heart rhythms, respiration rate, and physical activity and relay the information to doctors in real time. Nanowear’s leading product is a sash called SimpleSense that fits over the shoulder and around the torso, and last month the company won FDA approval for the software package that goes with the SimpleSense sash and turns it into a diagnostic and predictive device.
