I'm curious if anyone has heard of this. I saw a history channel documentary about the future. In it, futurist/ theoretical physicist Michio Kaku (I am not sure if that is exactly how his name is spelled) described clothing that could help keep one alive if they are injured or resuscitate them if they have a heart attack. It could also apply pressure to a wound to help slow bleeding, and contact medical services if one is knocked-out.

 

I think this would be great technology if implemented, has anyone heard anything about this? Does the technology has a specific term? Are there any new articles/books/information/studies pertaining to this topic?

 

Furthermore there are sites I have come across that seem somewhat sketchy to be quite honest, but they refer to negative-ion clothing. So far I have not seen any FDA evaluation of these products so I am weary, but any thoughts?

'Smart clothing'?
