Researchers from Microsoft and two universities have developed a 'smart bra' with embedded sensors that connects to a Windows Phone app, to explore ways to reduce stress-related 'emotional eating'



From Neowin:

Wearable computing devices are frequently touted as the next big thing in tech. We’re already seeing the first steps towards that next generation, with the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy Gear smartwatch and Google Glass among a growing number of devices that manufacturers hope will soon be as ubiquitous as mobile phones.

But wearable computing isn’t just about transferring the functions of a smartphone into a new form factor, and researchers across the world are already exploring how technology that people can wear may be used to transform our lives in ways beyond simply adding convenience. One such exploration has resulted in a ‘smart bra’, which its creators developed to aid research into stress-related ‘emotional eating’.
