Press ReleasePlastic Logic's Colour Display Revolutionises Smart WearablesPlastic Logic has announced a new flexible 5.4in colour display that is set to revolutionise smart wearable devices.
Wearable Technology InsightsApr 19, 2021Wearable Sensors That Detect Gas LeaksGas accidents such as toxic gas leakage in factories, carbon monoxide leakage of boilers, or toxic gas suffocation during manhole cleaning continue to claim lives and cause injuries. Developing a sensor that can quickly detect toxic gases or biochemicals is still an important issue in public health, environmental monitoring, and military sectors.
Wearable Technology InsightsApr 16, 2021Stretching the Boundaries of Medical Tech with Wearable AntennaeCurrent research on flexible electronics is paving the way for wireless sensors that can be worn on the body and collect a variety of medical data. But where do the data go? Without a similar flexible transmitting device, these sensors would require wired connections to transmit health data.
Press ReleaseCOROS Partners With Shane Benzie & Running RebornCOROS Wearables Inc have announced a partnership with performance coach Shane Benzie, and Running Reborn. The partnership aims to develop further research into the scientific field of Vertical Oscillation, as well as to educate on the benefits of training with COROS Running Dynamics by pairing this data with professional movement techniques to ensure that training and recovery are optimised.
Wearable Technology InsightsApr 14, 2021Smarty-Pants: Could Intelligent Underwear Improve Your Life?It is not uncommon to have a favorite bra, or a lucky pair of pants. Now, innovations in E-Textiles and Smart Clothing have taken this phenomenon to the next level. Imagine a pair of pants that can play your party playlist when you get too sad, or a bra that can turn down the thermostat when your indoor workout raises your temperature.
Press ReleaseOppo Band Launches in the UKOPPO has announced the launch of the OPPO Band, the smartphone brand's first wearable device designed to enhance and improve the fitness experience. It's the newest addition to OPPO's smart device line and follows the success of the OPPO Watch series last year.
Wearable Technology InsightsApr 13, 2021Progress with Smart Hearing AidsResearchers have succeeded for the first time in measuring brain waves directly via a cochlear implant. These brainwaves indicate in an objective way how good or bad a person's hearing is. The research results are important for the further development of smart hearing aids.
Wearable Technology InsightsApr 12, 2021AI-Powered Backpack Helps Visually Impaired Navigate WorldResearchers have designed an AI-powered, voice-activated backpack that can help the visually impaired navigate and perceive the world around them. The backpack helps detect common challenges such as traffic signs, hanging obstacles, crosswalks, moving objects and changing elevations, all while running on a low-power, interactive device.
