1. An article of clothing comprising:
- one or more electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors configured to receive physiological signals from a user wearing said article of clothing;
one or more non-physiological sensors configured to detect one or more characteristics of air surrounding said user;
one or more processors communicatively coupled to said one or more ECG sensors and said one or more non-physiological sensors; and
wherein said one or more processors are configured to begin processing of signals from said one or more ECG sensors in response to detection, by said one or more processors, of at least one particular characteristic of said air surrounding said user, based on signals from said one or more non-physiological sensors.

12. A system for ascertaining health of a wearer of an article of clothing, the system comprising:
-
at least one module operable to, at least; receive one or more signals from respective electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors configured to receive physiological signals from a wearer of said article of clothing; receive one or more non-physiological signals from corresponding sensors configured to detect one or more characteristics of air surrounding said user; and one or more processors configured to initiate analysis of at least the received one or more signals from said respective ECG sensors, in response to detection of at least one particular characteristic of said air surrounding said user, based upon signals from said one or more non-physiological sensors, to ascertain cardiovascular health of the wearer of said article of clothing. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system comprising:
-
an article of clothing comprising; a first sensor configured to detect a first physiological characteristic of a user wearing said article of clothing, a second sensor configured to detect a second non-physiological characteristic of air surrounding said user, and an interface that operates to communicate signals from said first sensor and said second sensor to a personal electronic device located with said user, wherein said personal electronic device is separate from said article of clothing; and a computer application configured for execution on one or more processors of said personal electronic device, wherein said computer application is configured to initiate processing of signals from said first sensor, in response to detection, by said one or more processors, of at least one particular characteristic of said air surrounding said user, based upon signals from said second sensor. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
