Abstract

One or more items of apparel have a plurality of sensors (10, 11, and 12) disposed therein (either permanently or temporarily). These sensors sense physical states of the individual wearing the items of apparel and/or of the local environment. In one embodiment, multiple sensors sense, in alternative ways, a parameter that corresponds to a physical state of interest. Information from these alternative sensing approaches is co-processed to yie ld a resultant parameter value that can be used in various ways. In one embodiment, the parameter value is locally or remotely displayed. In one embodiment, the parameter value is used in comparison against risk threshold s to ascertain a degree of risk to the individual.

Claims (30)

1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one item of apparel;
- a plurality of sensors disposed within the at least one item of apparel, wherein at least two of the plurality of sensors each sense, in alternative ways, a parameter that corresponds to a given physical state.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least two of the plurality of sensors are disposed within one of the at least one item of apparel.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one item of apparel comprises at least one of headgear, a torso covering, a glove, footwear, pants, a dress, an apron, a belt, suspenders, and an undergarment.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least one of the plurality of sensors is readily removable from the at least one item of apparel such that the at least one item of apparel can be laundered without the at least one of the plurality of sensors.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the given physical state comprises at least one of human blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, respiration rate, blood oxygen, movement, and vertical bearing.
