What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Elegant electronics-light acoustic-waveguide sensing with quantified pressure/bend/respiration metrics, but the external-instrumentation dependency and glass-fibre fragility keep it firmly pre-product.
Next
Look for a self-contained (battery + embedded DAQ + wireless) wash-tested SonoTextiles garment and an independent replication before any pilot.
