  • a first garment configured to be worn by a user and including;

    a first fabric; and

    a first set of one or more sensors, the one or more sensors in the first set of one or more sensors being arranged to detect a first shape-related parameter of the first fabric and responsive to the detected first shape-related parameter to produce a first signal; and

    circuitry responsive to the first signal to determine a first shape of the first fabric and configured to compare the first shape of the first fabric to a reference shape of the first fabric, and to produce a second signal corresponding to a difference between the first shape of the first fabric and the reference shape of the first fabric, the second signal being indicative of a physiological condition of the user.
