Wearable Technology

IDTechEx caught up with MAS Innovation at the IDTechEx Show in Berlin in April 2018.

IDTechEx caught up with Sensing Tex at the IDTechEx Show Europe in Berlin in April 2018. We spoke about their latest progress commercialising products based on smart textile pressure sensors, including their latest funding rounds.

Breath! are an Italian startup developing smart garments for yoga training. The company is based in Milan, and is made up of four co-founders, each bringing different expertise (designer, electronics, yoga instructor, fashion designer, etc.). We spoke to Dr Samuele Polistina and Ms Clara Pozzetti at their booth at the IDTechEx Show in Berlin.

Engineers have developed a miniature, ultra-low power injectable biosensor that could be used for continuous, long-term alcohol monitoring. The chip is small enough to be implanted in the body just beneath the surface of the skin and is powered wirelessly by a wearable device, such as a smartwatch or patch.

Quantum Technology Supersensors were the first recipients of the new IDTechEx award for a 'Toxicant Replacement Hero' in Berlin.

Scientists have created a non-invasive, adhesive patch, which promises the measurement of glucose levels through the skin without a finger-prick blood test, potentially removing the need for millions of diabetics to frequently carry out the painful and unpopular tests.

In this premium article, we will give an overview of trends in sensing technology in a way that relates to printed, flexible/stretchable and wearable technologies.

A team of researchers has developed a wearable, non-invasive system to monitor electrical activity in the stomach over 24 hours—essentially an electrocardiogram but for the gastro-intestinal tract.
