Wearable Technology

THIS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12 WEBINAR: Corrosion is the #1 cause of failure in electronics. In the 2016 NACE International federal study, annual corrosion costs were estimated at $2.5 trillion in direct costs, not factoring indirect costs or including the electronics industry. In HZO's latest technical webinar, we'll tackle what hands-on steps you can take to prevent corrosion and failure on your next project.

Researchers have developed a material that cools the wearer without using any electricity. The fabric transfers heat, allows moisture to evaporate from the skin and repels water.

A team of researchers has developed a new form of electronics known as "drawn-on-skin electronics," allowing multifunctional sensors and circuits to be drawn on the skin with an ink pen.

Blood-feeding livestock mites can be detected with wearable sensor technology nicknamed "Fitbits for chickens."

This article discusses the future impact of the standalone AR market. Will SmartGlasses be a short-lived trend, or become as common place as the smartphone?

What if your belt did more than hold up your pants? What if it also listened to your FitBit, smart glasses, and smart jewelry to better recognize what activities you were engaged in while using far less power than anything currently on the market?

IDTechEx currently have a number of wearable related webinars available to watch on-demand. These include presentations on XR and self-powered electronics.

An invention may turn one of the most widely used materials for biomedical applications into wearable devices to help monitor heart health.

In a potential breakthrough in wearable sensing technology, researchers have designed a wrist-mounted device that continuously tracks the entire human hand in 3D.
