The University of Alabama has received two grants totaling $402,721 for the project, which so far has produced a “very early prototype” of the monitoring system, which -- in its current state -- fits like a vest.
The goal of the three-year study is to “develop a wearable sensor system comprised of a breathing sensor integrated into conventional underwear.”

Yeah, that pesky self-reporting. I'm always trying to get rid of self-reporting. I hate to self-report about any of my vices. When are they going to come out with a monitor that tells me when I'm smacking my chewing gum too loudly?
