Wearable Technology

Worn only at night, the bracelet collects more than three million data points and measures nine physiological parameters. In addition to information about their fertility status, Ava provides users with health insights on sleep, stress and resting heart rate.

Researchers have developed a tiny, soft and wearable acoustic sensor that measures vibrations in the human body, allowing them to monitor human heart health and recognize spoken words.

Aresearch team has developed a first-of-its-kind soft, flexible microfluidic device that easily adheres to the skin and measures the wearer's sweat to show how his or her body is responding to exercise.

Researchers are making strides in material development that may open up new possibilities for thin, wearable electronics and other vital power applications.

Technology analyst Dr David Pugh spoke with John Bernard, marketing coordinator at Dexcom about their continuous glucose monitoring systems for diabetes management and the growth of wearables for diabetic patients.

The small form-factor comfortable to wear health patch has been optimized for low power consumption and is the first of its kind to track physical and cardiac activity, while monitoring bioelectrical impedance.

A new, ultrathin film that is both transparent and highly conductive to electric current has been produced by a cheap and simple method devised by an international team of nanomaterials researchers.

Record growth and positive feedback from attendees at America's largest event on emerging technologies.

Researchers have developed an energy-efficient technique for accurately tracking a user's physical activity based on data from wearable devices.

A skin-like biomedical technology that uses a mesh of conducting nanowires and a thin layer of elastic polymer might bring new electronic bandages that monitor biosignals for medical applications and provide therapeutic stimulation through the skin.

From the Exhibition Hall at the IDTechEx Show! in Santa Clara last week came a wide variety of new product announcements and press releases. Here we summarize some of the announcements.

Although effective for the treatment of diabetes, exercise is sometimes difficult for overweight or elderly people. A new wearable medical device has been found to effect visceral fat loss and improve blood glucose (sugar). The current study reports clinical trial results for optimal use frequency.

Researchers have pioneered a method for growing an atomic scale electronic material at the highest quality ever reported.
