Abstract

Sensor data generated by a portion of a plurality of sensors integrated into a smart garment is received, the sensor data indicating at least one biometric parameter indicating a state of health of a user wearing the smart garment. Based on the first sensor data, at least one health change parameter indicating at least one change in the state of health of the user can be determined. Based on the at least one health change parameter, whether the at least one change in the state of health of the user exceeds a threshold value can be determined. Responsive to determining that the at least one change in the state of health of the user exceeds the threshold value, a notification indicating that the at least one change in the state of health of the user exceeds the threshold value can be output.
