Bioengineers have designed a glove-like device that can translate American Sign Language into English speech in real time though a smartphone app.

Last week, Apple announced the latest features that will be added to the Apple Watch in watchOS 7. Amongst the range of updates were a series of new health app features, including new "mobility metrics" such as low-range cardio fitness, walking speed, stair-descent speed, stair-ascent speed, six-minute walk distance, double support time, step length, and asymmetry.

The conductive ink market is diverse. This is shown in the schematic below, showing the commercialization status of diverse spectrum applications. This diversity is both a blessing and a curse.

New research on the two-dimensional material graphene has allowed researchers to create smart adaptive clothing which can lower the body temperature of the wearer in hot climates.

Empatica has joined forces with BARDA to validate and release a proprietary COVID-19 early detection algorithm using their wearable technology.

Conventional melanoma therapies, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, suffer from the toxicity and side effects of repeated treatments due to the aggressive and recurrent nature of melanoma cells.

Opportunities for Printed & Flexible Electronics, a virtual interactive event hosted by IDTechEx featuring Coca-Cola, Electrolux, Swarovski, Roartis, Ynvisible and Neotech. This conference was originally broadcast May 27th 2020.

Myant Inc and KITE Research Institute have announced a multiyear co-development partnership that leverages the Myant Platform, the company's core textile computing technology (commercially known as Skiin), as well as research from KITE and UHN to develop and clinically validate an array of digital diagnostics and digital therapies backed by the Myant Platform.

Australian researchers have demonstrated the strong potential for a new type of flexible, recyclable electrodes to be used in creating cheaper solar cells, touchscreens, wearable 'e-skins' and next-generation responsive windows.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AWE 2020 event in California was held digitally instead of in-person. The event was held between 26th-29th of May 2020, and was attended by IDTechEx Analyst Dr. Charlotte Coles.

Researchers have designed a high-performance, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and stretchable supercapacitor that can potentially be used in wearable electronics.

Magic Leap laid off 1000 employees in April 2020, and has switched to a enterprise market rather than a consumer market. Why?

Researchers introduce an elastic material made out of a non-polluting mix of gelatin and other edible ingredients. What is so special about the new bio-gel? It is elastic, flexible and easy to bend as well as sufficiently stable, allowing it to be combined with electronic components. This discovery forges new paths in the development of soft robotics.

A recent article by IDTechEx Principal Analyst, James Hayward, written on the need to update e-textiles' traditional mantra which implies that "technology + comfort = success".

Researchers have developed electronic fibers that, when embedded in textiles, can collect a wealth of information about our bodies by measuring subtle and complex fabrics deformations. Their technology relies on transmission line theory and offers a host of applications, such as in health care and robotics.

By 2030, $20Bn of the AR/VR market are expected to be standalone-AR devices. As a result, will augmented reality become the next leader for sports metrics?

2019 saw the largest single year growth rate for wearable technology product revenue since 2015
