A research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has invented a concept called digital fibre. A Fibre material with digital capabilities that can sense, store, analyse, and infer activities after it’s sewn into a shirt. According to Yoel Fink, professor and principal investigator at the Research Laboratory of Electronics and a senior author on the study, said that these fibres enhance possibilities of uncovering the context of hidden patterns in a human body. The data, then, can be used to monitor physical performance, medical inference, and also help in the detection of diseases at an early stage.
