10 Most Expected Wearable Devices in 2016

10. OmBra

Canadian tech startup, Om Signals, has decided to revolutionize women’s sports bra experience with the very first ‘smart’ underwear, the OmBra. The smart sports bra, which was presented to the public at the CES 2016 in Las Vegas, offers more than just physical support for women doing workouts and sports; it’s equipped with fitness tracker capacities as well.

The OmBra is designed to track the wearer’s breathing rate, heart rate, as well as the number of calories burned during a workout. The biometric data records are then shared to the company’s OmSignal mobile app that reads and relays feedback of the data to the wearer. The OmRun feature of the app is integrated into the bra’s design to help its wearers manage their running and fitness targets. The app also lets women measure their breathing, improve their rhythm, and even compare their fitness levels with other women in their age group.

The smart bra features antimicrobial mesh panels for breathability, a stretchable fabric made of a blend of polyester, elastane, and nylon for comfort, adjustable straps, removable paddings, and racerback design.

The OmBra comes from the same company that launched the Smart Shirt in 2014, and it is expected to be available to the market by Spring this year.
