Wearable Technology

IDTechEx interviewed Chris Ard, the Managing Director of TouchNetix. They are a touchscreen technology developer including force touch implementation.

A wearable orthotic product for children with physical impairments including Muscular Dystrophy, Hemiplegia and Peripheral Nerve Neuropathy. It helps children complete movements by compensating with automatic support for weak muscles.

On Thursday 1 September BBC World Television delved deeper into this topic by interviewing the expert, Dr Peter Harrop Chairman of analysts IDTechEx.

Very few people will get to experience the beauty of the US national parks alongside a sitting president. Transporting people to places they might not get to see in their lifetime is one of the great powers of VR says Oculus.

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a dielectric elastomer with a broad range of motion that requires relatively low voltage and no rigid components.

IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 13 September 2016 titled Microcontrollers and Single-Board Computers

Researchers have introduced a new way of communicating that allows devices such as brain implants, contact lenses, credit cards and smaller wearable electronics to talk to everyday devices such as smartphones and watches.

A future of soft robots that wash your dishes or smart T-shirts that power your cell phone may depend on the development of stretchy power sources.

Researchers are exploring the concept of a wearable personal cloud — a fully functioning, yet compact and lightweight cloud computing system embedded into clothing.

King's Health Partners and Buddi, a pioneering technology company, have joined forces to help prevent type 2 diabetes in those patients most at risk of developing the disease.
