The device, which looks like a fan scarf, will help track the physiological reactions of the fans and is believed to allow the club to establish closer contact with them. The item of equipment, made in two different colors, has an installed sensor in the middle that monitors the heart rate, body temperature and the emotional state of the wearer.
