Bluetooth fall sensing jacket

We've seen
MP3 playing,
solar powered, and
gadget jackets, but now we have the Memswear (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) jacket, a Bluetooth enabled coat which senses when the wearer takes a fall (kind of like
that shirt from the other week). Faster than you can say,
"I've fallen and I can't get up," the jacket will send a signal from your Bluetooth-enabled cellphone to your caregiver via text message, email, or phone call. They are aiming to market this towards the elderly as well as athletes and military (as they also are developing a sensor that monitors heart rates), and the sensor will be priced around $60 apiece.
