A wearable designed especially for the equestrian market

A new wearable vital signs monitoring system is being trialled by St James's University Hospital, Leeds, UK.

Microsoft researchers have come up with a way to make wearable gadgets such as fitness trackers and smart watches go much longer between charges.

Infinite Corridor Technology (ICT) was set up in 2009 as an MIT spin-off. Its technology enables the creation of flexible and stretchable PBCs. Its initial target market was wearable devices that can be twisted and flexed. Its technology uses standard PBC technology on copper-clad Kapton and does not require any inherently flexible technology such as special plastic substrates or printed conductive inks.

Intel is working with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research on tech-enabled solutions to gather relevant data about PD, analyze that data to identify patterns and make generalizations, and use insights gained to accelerate the development of therapeutic breakthroughs, and potentially even a cure for the disease.

Wearables and court sensors gauge the mood of the audience.

Researchers have created a "smart insulin patch" that can detect increases in blood sugar levels and secrete doses of insulin into the bloodstream whenever needed.

IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Thursday 23 July 2015.

Researchers have found a promising new approach to delivering the short but intense bursts of power needed by such small devices.

Researchers have developed a new ink that can be printed on textiles in a single step to form highly conductive and stretchable connections.

A shoe comprised of material that can communicate with your smartphone and shift colors on demand.

Chemical batteries store a lot of energy but require a long period of time for that energy to charge and discharge plus have a limited lifespan. Capacitors charge quickly but cannot store enough charge to work for long enough to be practical.

NASA and Microsoft have teamed up to develop software called OnSight, a new technology that will enable scientists to work virtually on Mars using wearable technology called Microsoft HoloLens.
