Wearable Technology

Analysis of the technology, ecosystem and market outlook.

Wearable for improving aircraft situational awareness and combat readiness.

Freevolt™ is a revolutionary energy harvesting technology that turns ambient radio frequency waves (RF) into usable electricity to charge low power electronic devices.

Video interview with ISORG at Printed Electronics Europe.

In today's smart home, technologies can track how much energy a particular appliance like a refrigerator or television or hair dryer is gobbling up. What they don't typically show is which person in the house actually flicked the switch.

A team of scientists has developed a wearable liquid-based microfluidic tactile sensor that is small, thin, highly flexible and durable.

Large investments have been made to enable flexible, thin sensors rather than rigid sensors.

Video interview with Flexous at Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe.

Interview with Flexible Circuit Technologies at IDTechEx Wearable Europe.

Some animals, such as the chameleon and cephalopod, have the remarkable capability to change their skin colour. This unique characteristic has long inspired scientists to develop materials and devices to mimic such a function.

Dialog Semiconductor and Atmel Corporation have announced that Dialog has agreed to acquire Atmel in a cash and stock transaction for total consideration of approximately $4.6 billion.

Wearable sensors can be attached to a swimmer's hand paddles or an archers' equipment. From there, data is wirelessly transferred to the coach's smartphone or tablet.

New wearable technologies, including a malaria alert bracelet for infants, a water purification band, and an ear-worn pneumonia monitor, are among the 10 ideas selected for the final stage of the Wearables for Good design challenge.

Wearable device will revolutionise the way fathers interact with their unborn child during pregnancy.

Leading companies will speak at IDTechEx Sensors USA on November 18-19, 2015 in Santa Clara, CA.

The nanoCloudProcessor is only the size of a speck of dust, yet is able to power itself and to sense and communicate with the internet.

Engineers have demonstrated a new wireless communication technique that works by sending magnetic signals through the human body.

DexCom Inc has entered into an agreement with the life sciences team at Google to jointly develop a series of next-generation continuous glucose monitoring products that are designed to be smaller and less expensive than existing technologies.

Forster Rohner Textile Innovations (FRTI) was set up as a subsidiary of Forster Rohner in 2008, with the aim of exploring opportunities in combining electronics and textiles. They have completed many projects with a large number of partners, as they develop a wide array of relevant technologies, such as their e-broidery solutions.

Intelligent Textiles Limited are a small company based in London UK. They develop e-textiles solutions for the military, aiming to make equipment to aid with the integration and practicality of soldier systems. They have partnered with many military providers, including US & Canadian military and BAE Systems.
