New electro-textile materials and system integration company Textronics Inc is releasing its first consumer product made specifically for women - a heart sensing sports bra branded as NuMetrex.
The highly advanced NuMetrex bra features electronic sensing technology actually integrated right into the fabric.
The bra will offer a new level of comfort to women wishing to monitor their heart rate while they exercise.
The NuMetrex sports bra promises to revolutionize athletic apparel, providing the traditional comfort and support of a sports bra with the added technological benefits of built-in accurate heart rate monitoring.
Designed to work with the Polar WearLink transmitter that snaps directly into a special compartment in the bra, NuMetrex eliminates the need for a separate heart rate monitoring chest strap and all the headaches that go with it. The comfort of the innovative NuMetrex sports bra will give women a new way to wear a heart rate monitor.
The way the system works is simple. The sensors in the fabric pick up the wearer's heartbeat and relay it to the WearLink transmitter in the front of the bra.
The transmitter captures the heart rate information and sends it to the heart rate monitoring watch, which displays it instantaneously. In addition, the transmitter can communicate with some fitness machines like treadmills and elliptical trainers that have integrated monitoring devices.
"The NuMetrex heart sensing bra is the introductory garment in a collection of clothing they're developing which integrates technology to monitor your body," said Stacey Burr, Chief Executive of Textronics.
