Wearable Technology

Smart, discreet and wire-free heated base layer that keeps men and women warm in all the right places while ensuring flexibility and style.

Researchers have developed a contact lens with autonomous electronics, opening the door to unique applications such as lenses with sensors and/or drug-delivery systems for the treatment of eye disorders.

Researchers have developed an electronic skin with magnetosensitive capabilities, sensitive enough to detect and digitize body motion in the Earth's magnetic field. As this e-skin is extremely thin and malleable, it can easily be affixed to human skin to create a bionic analog of a compass.

IDTechEx interviewed Hank Lee, Vice President of the Medical Device department at Asiatic Fiber Corporation at their booth at the IDTechEx Show.

IDTechEx spoke with Terry and Christian Pennisi, Head of R&D and Director of Operations respectively at Jennova at their booth at the IDTechEx Show. We discussed their latest milestones in energy harvesting, related to their latest board design for power management in EH devices.

IDTechEx met with Stephen Ursenbach and Guy Hatch, CEO and CTO respectively as well as being co-founders of Reveal Biosensors. They have developed an 'energy conversion monitor' based on a wearable sensor, used in the diagnosis and management of skin tissue hypoxia and linked areas such as sleep disordered breathing (sleep apnea, etc.).

Approximately 3,500 attendees from 42 countries attended the IDTechEx Show!, which featured 284 exhibiting organizations. The event, held in Santa Clara, California, is unique in bringing together eight key technologies with the organizations that seek to use them.

IDTechEx spoke to Nestor Coronado Palma, Chief Commercial Officer at LifeSense Group about their progress with their e-textile products: Carin and Wil.

A new high-tech bracelet detects 85 percent of all severe night-time epilepsy seizures. That is a much better score than any other technology currently available. The researchers involved think that this bracelet can reduce the worldwide number of unexpected night-time fatalities in epilepsy patients.

A combination products company, Enable Injections develops and manufactures wearable drug delivery devices that allow easy, comfortable patient self-administration of large volume/high viscosity drugs in doses from 5 mL to 50 mL.

BeBop Sensors announced today that it has won the IDTechEx Wearable USA 2018 Awards - Best New Material Award for BeBop Sensors wearable fabric sensor technology.
