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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
