AT&T Pushes 'Connected' Clothing For Healthcare

On the plus side, this also implements a framework for health sensors.

For example, the clothing could have an array of sensors which monitor various aspects of ones health - temperature, blood O2, and heart rate come to mind.

This could be linked to alerts, such as "having a heart attack". Having more information will allow us to better tune our detection criteria, will allow us to detect problems more quickly, and administer emergency care quicker.

Like any technology, can be used for good or bad.
