When a corporation has lost ideas, they resort to mockery of their own institutional foundation. Microsoft has lost touch on IT reality, I would have preferred if they formed a subsidiary company to release this innovation... Anyway sha, anything for their company... I'm not hating. grin

While Google, Samsung, and Apple are busy with smartphones, smartwatches, and smartglasses, Microsoft has been working on bringing artificial intelligence to a wearable device that's a little bit more intimate - a new 'smart' bra for women!

The giant tech company has developed a smart-bra that its researchers say is used to help prevent women from over-eating when stressed.

The hi-tech bra measures the wearer’s heart rate and breathing and alerts them when their stress levels are rising by sending a Bluetooth alert to their smartphone.

Senior Microsoft researcher Mary Czerwinski hopes the bra will make women think twice before opening the fridge.

‘It’s mostly women who are emotional over-eaters and it turns out a bra is perfect for measuring the heart,’ she told Discovery News.

‘We tried to do the same thing for men’s underwear but it was too far away.’

Reaction to the bra on Twitter ranged from amusement to annoyance.Microsoft develops ‘smart’ bra

"Anyone else offended that Microsoft is devoting its tech research to a bra designed to prevent women from overeating?" tweeted a Seattle woman whose Twitter handle is @cunningminx.

Added Rachel Happe of Boston, "If nothing else convinces you we need more women in tech, this should. No, I don't want someone hacking my bra..."

Is technology taking things a bit too far or is this a welcomed development? Have your say!

"Based on these results, we conclude that building a wearable, physiological system is feasible," the scientists said. "However, we will continue to explore how to build a robust, real-world system that stands up to every day challenges with regards to battery life, comfortability, and being suitable for both men and women."

Technology is really gonna take us places.With the fact that Nigeria is still a developing country where the uneducated and poverty stricken citizenry will feel that by such invention the world may come to and end simply because they are uninformed,ignorant and possess a very cold reception in welcoming new changes and developments.All the same nice development!

Is it disposable or one to wash and rewear?

any fear of electrocution?

Carbohydrates are good for relieving stress.Hence the chocolate mantra. I wonder why microsoft wants to deny us that. Not everyone wants to be skinny.
