Looks like a pair of underpants isn’t just meant to keep your privates in place anymore these days, as scientists have come up with a rather novel method of sensing your blood pressure, by including a blood pressure sensing system in a pair of underpants. These sensors are sewn into the waistband of the person’s underpants, and will get to work detecting the

wearer’s “pulse wave velocity” which is closely linked to blood pressure. that enables the garment to calculate the blood pressure continuously as faraway as it is worn. No view when that concept will be commercialized though.
