Wearable Technology InsightsDec 30, 2020Powering up Stretchy TechnologyA team of researchers has created stretchable energy-storage devices using a specialized printing technology, innovative materials and the centuries-old art of origami.
Wearable Technology InsightsDec 29, 2020Smart Shirt Could Help with Weight Loss, FitnessA smart shirt for athletes will monitor heart and muscle activity, analyse temperature and perspiration during exercise while working with an app that records the course of training, the route of walking, running or cycling, the shirt can also help users to compete online with other athletes.
Wearable Technology InsightsDec 28, 2020Diabetes Monitoring via the EarlobeA product design graduate from the University of Huddersfield has defeated thousands of entries from around the world to become one of the finalists of the 2020 Global Grad Show with her design for a discreet earring that monitors blood sugar levels and delivers feedback in real-time.
Wearable Technology InsightsDec 25, 2020Electrical Stimulator to Zap Alzheimer's DiseaseThe olfactory system, or sense of smell, is known to be dysfunctional in the early stages of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. It is also shown that proper olfactory function can play a key role in regaining consciousness after brain injuries.
Wearable Technology InsightsDec 23, 2020New Device Detects Which Hand Gestures You Want to MakeImagine typing on a computer without a keyboard, playing a video game without a controller or driving a car without a wheel. That's one of the goals of a new device developed by engineers, that can recognize hand gestures based on electrical signals detected in the forearm. The system, which couples wearable biosensors with artificial intelligence, could one day be used to control prosthetics or to interact with almost any type of electronic device.
