(KGTV) — A story you might have heard claims scientists have developed ‘smart underwear’ designed to track a person's flatulence.
It's true.
Researchers at the University of Maryland created the garment, which features a snap-in device that tracks intestinal gas to measure your digestive health.
According to the lead researcher, think of it like a glucose monitor, but for intestinal gas.
Historically, doctors have had to rely on patient self-reporting to gauge how often they pass gas, which research shows patients significantly underestimate.
