Wearable Technology

This slideshow includes the highlights from Display Week in San Francisco, with a special emphasis on OLED, quantum dots, and Augmented Reality.

Video interview with DuPont at the IDTechEx Show! (27-28 April, 2016 | Berlin, Germany).

The arrival of a thin and lightweight computer that even rolls up like a piece of paper will not be in the far distant future.

Researchers have developed an integrated, wearable system that monitors a user's environment, heart rate and other physical attributes with the goal of predicting and preventing asthma attacks.

Engineers have created the world's fastest stretchable, wearable integrated circuits, an advance that could drive the Internet of Things and a much more connected, high-speed wireless world.

IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 14 June 2016: The Road to Commercialization of Thin-film, Flexible and Printed Batteries.

The first generation of wearable devices are constructed using mature, rigid technologies put inside a new box that can be worn. These are often bulky devices that are not truly wearable in the sense that our clothes are. This is, however, beginning to change, albeit slowly.

A collaboration to implement data security into sensors for wearable devices and Internet of Things sensor networks.

Engineers have developed the first flexible wearable device capable of monitoring both biochemical and electric signals in the human body.

This background profile covers Catapult Sport's activities in wearable technology for professional sports teams, outlining their progress so far and latest financials.

AzTrong is a Taiwanese graphene company strong focused on end applications. It has so far raised $6m and is scaling up an rGO process and targets the energy storage, thermal interface material and e-textile applications.

n the search of a wearable device capable of measuring blood alcohol levels in real time, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institute of Health, issued the Wearable Alcohol Biosensor Challenge in March of 2015.

Canatu and E Ink Holdings, are working together with the objective to offer a line of flexible touch displays for the wearable market, with the first product ready for sampling to customers in July 2016.

The world's first smart earpiece which translates between users speaking different languages.

Electronic materials have been a major stumbling block for the advance of flexible electronics because existing materials do not function well after breaking and healing. A new electronic material created by an international team, however, can heal all its functions automatically even after breaking multiple times.

easyJet airline has unveiled a prototype smart shoe - named the 'Sneakairs' - which with their built-in technology could help customers explore new cities with ease.

The soft exosuit — which is a soft wearable robot that is the first of its kind — was developed through extensive prototyping that included the involvement of roboticists, mechanical and biomechanical engineers, apparel designers, and software engineers.

Researchers have programmed polarization into compact holograms, this has significant potential for wearable optics applications.

A fabrication process that draws from current body decoration processes (i.e., jewelry- like metallic temporary tattoos) for the creation of on- skin technology.

Scientists have developed a new material that can temporarily protect and tighten skin, and smooth wrinkles. With further development, it could also be used to deliver drugs to help treat skin conditions such as eczema and other types of dermatitis.
