Safe Spacer™ is a lightweight, wearable device that helps factories, offices, museums, hotels and other workplaces and public spaces operate with peace of mind by enabling workers and visitors to maintain safe social distancing.

Imagine a mobile phone charger that doesn't need a wireless or mains power source. Or a pacemaker with inbuilt organic energy sources within the human body. Researchers led are picking up the challenge of 'scavenging' invisible power from low-frequency vibrations in the surrounding environment, including wind, air or even contact-separation energy (static electricity).

Vuzix® Corporation announced it has partnered with the Children of War Foundation to further the access to medical and surgical education through the use of Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses.

Hygiene and health company Essity is launching TENA SmartCare, a new and reusable digital sensor for improved incontinence care. TENA SmartCare is available for both professional and family caregivers.

Materials scientists have developed the fabrication process with colleagues in Korea. A key for success is spraying a specific amount of graphene ink onto flexible substrates at a specific angle and temperature.

Wearable sensors are evolving from watches and electrodes to bendable devices that provide far more precise biometric measurements and comfort for users. Now, an international team of researchers has taken the evolution one step further by printing sensors directly on human skin without the use of heat.

Availability of physician-prescribed cardiac monitoring system will significantly improve screening and treatment of atrial fibrillation and other chronic heart conditions.

Vuzix® Corporation, a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, announced that SpringCity Energy has commenced deployment of Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses to perform on-site inspection and maintenance.

The newest toy for dogs is a high-tech augmented reality headset.

Micro-LED technology is a popular choice for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) devices. This premium article, the third in a series from IDTechEx, will discuss micro-LED's applications for AR/VR.

Researchers have designed a wearable device that monitors sweat for biomarkers that could signal flare-ups of inflammatory bowel disease.

High-speed low-power printed transistors could lead to new display technologies. Researchers have successfully printed and demonstrated organic transistors, electronic switches, which can operate close to their theoretical speed limits.

Could graphene transform the future of healthcare? Several partners of international research initiative the Graphene Flagship, along with some of its industry-led Spearhead Projects and spin-off companies, are working on exciting developments that could bring new graphene-based medical devices to the market.

A polymer previously used to protect solar cells may find new applications in consumer electronics, reveals a team studying thin films capable of converting thermal energy into electricity.

Military working dogs often scout areas for explosive devices and hazardous materials and assist in rescue operations, but giving dogs the necessary commands to perform these missions can put soldiers in harm's way. Augmented reality may change that.

From capturing your breath to guiding biological cell movements, 3D printing of tiny, transparent conducting fibres could be used to make devices which can 'smell, hear and touch' - making it particularly useful for health monitoring, Internet of Things and biosensing applications.

QD materials can be used for its electroluminescent and photoluminescent features in displays. The second of this series of premium articles from IDTechEx discusses quantum dot (QD) used for micro-LED displays.

Researchers have developed a robotic fabric, a breakthrough that could lead to such innovations as adaptive clothing, self-deploying shelters, or lightweight shape-changing machinery.

Exoskeletons for neurological disorders, physical therapy and rehabilitation are wearable robotic devices placed on the user's body to augment, reinforce, or restore motor and/or cognitive function.
