Ideas for healthy behavior change: a respiration-pattern measuring shirt

People with sleep disorders could certainly use something like this to establish a history of their sleep cycles over a few weeks, enabling them to perhaps correlate certain weekly or monthly events that, as part of their lifestyle, may be negatively or positively affecting their sleepcycles and thereby their very health.

This latter concept holds greater promise, as it is the more platform free one, being available online and all. Perhaps tablets and mobile could play a huge role here in the near future. As Ballmer put it (and as Jobs well knows), 'Developers, developers, developers'
