“Good breathing doesn’t happen without good posture”.
While all regular bras have the same primary purpose, to offer support, they also have something else in common; a feeling of relief to the wearer when they are taken off. But, with the new smart bras hitting the market; one may feel much better by keeping it on.
The Vitali bra is a revolutionary piece of smart clothing that not only offers physical support, but also offers emotional support, too. This on the go “wellness coach” is unlike other smart clothing, rather than monitoring fitness, this bra tracks breathing, posture and heart rate variability (HRV) via a powerful processor that collects data from sensors. Honing in on key indicators of the balance between stress and your wellbeing, the bra gives biofeedback that lets you know if an unbalance is detected. This then allows you to take action, such as taking a deep breath which will effectively get you back on track. Following these cues, your guide will help you sync your breath with your heart’s rhythm, by mindfully training your reaction so you are always in-control.
Created to serve as your wellness coach that collects your vitals, the bra can be comfortably worn all day. The bra is a mixture of spandex and nylon and comes with a beautiful GEM which is an embedded sensor. These embedded sensors in the bra measure ECG (electrocardiogram) directly from the heart and analyse HRV (heart rate variability) to understand your body patterns. Biofeedback is provided to the wearer when changes occur in HRV patterns that indicate stress. All this can be synced to “My Vatali” mobile application to access your wellness center.
The app runs on both both Android and iOS, some of its mind blowing tech specs include the ability to run up to two days on a single charge, cool right? Well this is even better, should the battery run out it can be fully charged in 2 hours. This means you don’t have to wait forever for it to charge. Did I mention it is also water, rain, splash and sweat resistant? And that’s not all; it has a reminder for you. The VITALI bra reminds you to sit up because your breathing quality improves with posture. VITALI believes that “good breathing doesn’t happen without good posture”.
Is this really the future for wellbeing?
Many people are not aware of the low level of stress that they’re under. It’s only when stress becomes chronic and severe, resulting in deterioration in mental health, that the physical signs become more apparent. Because stress comes in many forms, both externally and internally, this can manifest in infections, illnesses and chronic diseases. When adrenaline is released into the body because of stress, our heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure and perspiration are all affected.
Wearable body measurement devices can now pick up changes in your body before you’ve even realized that you were under pressure. Wearing such a device that gives real time tracking of vital signs and creates progress logs will enable people to understand and monitor their stress levels.
It’s this awareness that could help people be more mindful of their health and potentially lead to earlier intervention to prevent further deterioration.
