bra

I believe this is what they are talking about (pictures included)

El corpiño inteligente que te hace adelgazar sin esfuerzo
Los "famosos" atracones de comida se podrían controlar gracias a los sensores de esta prenda que miden el ritmo cardíaco y nos ayudarían a no tentarnos cada vez que estamos cerca de la heladera. Muy fácil y sin sacrificio. Enterate de qué se trata.

bodice

It could also be "bra", but in Spain, I'd tend to think of "bodice".

That would be another usage,

Note from asker:
Thank you. In this context, it clearly referred to a bra, even though common use in Spain would be sujetador.
Peer comment(s):
agree neilmac : Definitely in Spain (my friend sells fetish gear online). Bra is "sujetador" here...

Thank you, Neilmac. In context, "bra" seems more adequate here, once I looked at it again... :-)
neutral 12316323 (X) : I believe you, Neil, but bra does seem most logical here. In any case, you would never write this as "bodice" in this context; definitely "corset" instead.

Yes, I agree with you.

Also 'e-bra'

Corpiños que vigilan el corazón: el e-bra permite monitorear de cerca el ritmo cardíaco. Se trata de una serie de sensores textiles en nanoestructuras, que puede integrarse en el soutien de las mujeres o en el chaleco de los hombres, y permite controlar el estado de un paciente donde quiera que se encuentre. Este invento fue creado por ingenieros de la Universidad de Arkansas.

But a growing trend is wearable sensors embedded into textiles - which just got even more high-tech with a new health-monitoring system, dubbed "e-bra," designed to be built into a sports bra.

I don't know about anywhere else, but in Spain, a bra is called a "sujetador" and "corpiños" are bodices, as shown in the link below.

I've just looked at Lorena's first link, and I would call the "corpiño" shown in the image a "sports bra", but the lexical choice of corpiño is nothing if not unusual IMHO.

@Kathryn: Check out the several thousands of hits for "leather bodice":

https://whitepavilion.com/articles/bodice-corset-stays
"Don’t know the difference between bodices, corsets and stays? It’s very simple: depending on the time period, they can mean one and the same garment, or three entirely different things."

So, corpiño is usually a "corset/bodice", depending on the style, etc.
But a bra is a "sujetador" in most cases, although the specific garment in the query is sold as a sports bra or e-bra.
