Inventan ropa interior inteligente | Noticias sobre tecnología, móviles, informática, nokia, Samsung - Canalblog.es
El sitio web de noticias tecnológicas y científicas Physorg ha hecho referencia de un proyecto de ropa interior ‘inteligente’, impulsado por la Universidad de California, de Estados Unidos. Estas prendas poseen una apariencia igual a la que tiene cualquier otra pieza de ropa interior convencional, pero incluye en la parte interior, un conjunto de sensores, que tienen la capacidad de detectar los cambios de temperatura de la persona que los lleva puestos. Además, posibilita el análisis de los componentes químicos del sudor de quien los viste. También tiene un chip que almacena progresivamente estos datos y que puede ser leído en un hospital, o en caso de emergencia, en una ambulancia, para que se le pueda suministrar el medicamento adecuado, de forma fácil y rápida. Pero eso no es todo, ya que se está analizando la inclusión de más dispositivos qu e suministren por sí mismos el medicamento de modo directo, después de que el calzoncillo da el resultado del análisis que procesa.

Brene Brown: The Power Of Vulnerability
In this special year-end collaboration, TED and The Huffington Post are excited to count down 18 great ideas of 2011, featuring the full TEDTalk with original blog posts that we think will shape 2012. Watch, engage and share these groundbreaking ideas as they are unveiled one-by-one, including never-seen-before TEDTalk premieres. Standby, the countdown is underway! Watch research professor Brené Brown discuss the importance of opening up oneself and feeling vulnerable, then read her follow-up post below. My entire research career has been fueled by a commitment to bring to light the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that we all experience but never discuss -- to find patterns and connections in our experiences so that we can learn more about the journey from fear and scarcity to love, belonging, and worthiness. The most difficult and most rewarding challenge of my work is how to be both a mapmaker and a traveler. One of my favorite quotes is from theologian Howard Thurman.
