European researchers have recently completed the Wearable Health Care System project, otherwise known as WEALTHY. In addition to being fashionable and slimming (Engadget office dress code requires us to wear something similar), the body suit will measure all manner of bodily processes, including respiration, core and surface skin temperature, position and movement. What's more, it will also trasmit that data over the mobile phone network thanks to a miniaturized GPRS transmitter hidden in the suit. That same trasmitter can even alert emergency services if the wearer stops responding or shows alarming vital signs.

Nice cameltoe
Doctor, we're noticing an increase in temperature and bloodflow to the groin area...
Hmm....so it will send updates via cell phone technology when there are changes in the wearers signs. New age phone sex to mee
Version II of this suit will take more active steps to ensure your health --
*Non-lethal (barely) electrical shocks any time you come within one meter of any food with more than 50 calories per serving.
*Optional epicac bulimia module for those who become inured to the electro-shocks.
*Direct muscle stimulation forcing you to exercise whether you like it or not.
*Optional morphine pump module for all those pulled muscles.
*Subliminal reminders during your sleep cycle that anyone over the age of five should have a weekly full body scan.
*Optional frontal lobe job module to ensure you're dumb enough to keep wearing this thing.
Looks itchy
This will be great for those young couples out there trying to get pregnant.
(Man says to boss): "Uh sir, can I possibly take a long lunch today. I just got an email from my wifes clothes and aparently she's ovulating today..."
The real question is, how does it measure core temperature? Anal probe?
