Location-based sensors (GPS and alike) and sensors to measure daily activity (such as from Nike) were a good first step to capture one's just-in-time context. But with those 'Smart Fabrics' we will finally be able to know what people really need in every situation, rather than having to infer it from a few data points and other contextual information. WIll be huge in the prevention of catastrophic medical events (such as stroke or heart attacks) but even more in giving just-in-time personalized advice on how to optimize ones wellness. Can't wait to get into those clothes ...
