Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has developed a wearable ECG with a combined temperature and posture meter. The data is wirelessly sent to an external device, like a smart phone, for analysis, which then can be passed on to a clinician when certain events are detected. Interestingly enough, the system uses cardiac data and posture to generate cryptographic keys that are used for sending the data out.
