Shri Lakshmi Cotsyn launches ‘Smart Vest’

Shri Lakshmi Cotsyn Ltd. unveiled Smart Vest, a jacket that can transmit your medical condition to a doctor through wireless network at Mumbai. The Smart Vest comes embedded with sensors & an electronic chip that transmits details about the wearer's health parameters like blood pressure, heart rate, ECG etc to the nearest monitoring centre through wireless technology. The chip also acts as a positioning system that allows the wearer to be tracked and rescued.

The vest is ideal for both defence and medical sector. While soldiers & paramilitary personnel in the firing line can be tracked by the command centre for their position and medical condition, doctors can remotely assess data of patients and suggest medication online, increasing the reach of quality diagnosis and medication. Unveiling the Smart Vest, Dr MP Agarwal, Managing Director, Shri Lakshmi Cotsyn Ltd said, "This is the first time such a technology is being used in India to get accurate and specific data in the field of defense and medicine. And this would be a great boon in both the fields."

He further went on to add that not only defence and medical sector but the common man is also expected to benefit from this Invention. The Smart Vest package, which includes a T-shirt and a CD, will help individuals monitor their health on their personal computers with comfort from their homes. Although it would not be a replacement for available medical diagnostic equipments, it could go a long way in early diagnosis and prevention of fatal diseases.
