Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and timely diagnosis often plays a decisive role in saving a patient&#8217;s life. While traditional diagnostic methods like the Electrocardiogram (ECG) are effective, they have limitations\u2014tests are conducted over a short period and may miss intermittent arrhythmias or other hidden pathologies.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">To address this, a new technological innovation has been developed: an AI-powered &#8220;Smart Shirt&#8221; capable of continuous monitoring of heart electrical activity during daily life. This project is actively being discussed in the medical community as a potentially revolutionary step in cardiology.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Developed by a research team at <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"32\">Imperial College London<\/b> and funded by the <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"74\">British Heart Foundation<\/b>, the project aims to create a wearable device that can record cardiac electrical signals with high precision and use artificial intelligence to identify pathological changes, including life-threatening arrhythmias.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"8\">Technology and Manufacturing<\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">The smart shirt is made of a special elastic, breathable textile comfortable for everyday wear. Numerous micro-sensors, functioning similarly to ECG electrodes, are integrated into the fabric. The technology includes:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"10\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Biosensor fibers<\/b> that record electrical impulses directly from the skin surface.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">A microelectronic module<\/b> that collects and converts signals into digital format.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">A data transmission system<\/b> that sends information to a specialized software platform.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">AI algorithms<\/b> that analyze the received data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">Special attention was paid to making the shirt reusable, washable, and practical for broad clinical adoption.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"12\">How It Works<\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">The device operates in four main stages:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"14\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Signal Detection:<\/b> Sensors continuously record heart activity over long periods.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Data Processing:<\/b> A digital module filters and standardizes the signals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">AI Analysis:<\/b> AI trained on thousands of patient datasets compares signals to known pathological patterns.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Results Delivery:<\/b> Data is accessible via an app or medical platform for doctor review.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"15\">Goals and Impact<\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">The smart shirt aims to solve the issue of &#8220;hidden&#8221; pathologies that short-term ECGs miss. Key benefits include:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"17\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\">Long-term heart rhythm monitoring.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\">Early detection of asymptomatic pathologies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\">Reduced need for hospitalization.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,3,0\">Increased patient comfort.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"18\">Estimated Cost<\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19\">Currently in the clinical trial phase, the official market price is not yet set. Experts suggest it may initially be expensive due to the high-tech textiles and AI services, but prices are expected to drop with mass production.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">source:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2026-02-smart-shirt-reveal-heart-conditions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medicalxpress<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/02\/23\/health\/ai-t-shirt-could-reveal-deadly-heart-conditions-without-an-ekg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nypost<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhf.org.uk\/what-we-do\/news-from-the-bhf\/news-archive\/2026\/february\/smart-t-shirt-could-reveal-heart-conditions-in-danger-of-being-missed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bhf.org<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The smart T-shirt is an innovative breakthrough that could significantly contribute to the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
