Wearable Technology

A unique new flexible and stretchable device, worn against the skin and capable of producing electrical energy by transforming the compounds present in sweat, was recently developed. This cell is already capable of continuously lighting an LED, opening new avenues for the development of wearable electronics powered by autonomous and environmentally friendly biodevices.

Cala Health Inc, a bioelectronic medicine company developing wearable therapies for chronic disease, presented positive topline data from the landmark PROspective study for SymPtomatic relief of Essential tremor with Cala Therapy (PROSPECT) This wrist- worn neuromodulation therapy is the only non-invasive individualized therapy for essential tremor.

Just like our senses of hearing and vision, our sense of touch plays an important role in how we perceive and interact with the world around us. And technology capable of replicating our sense of touch - also known as haptic feedback - can greatly enhance human-computer and human-robot interfaces for applications such as medical rehabilitation and virtual reality.

CoinPower CP1240 ensures performance with increasingly high-compact medical products and wearables. The VARTA Microbattery CoinPower range offers the highest energy density on the Lithium-Ion cell market.

The team of researchers are developing a system that monitors the health conditions of the elderly. The system consists of several sensors and a controller - a portable device on a neck strap - that automatically calls for help in the time of need.

NeuroEM Therapeutics announced findings from an open label clinical trial showing reversal of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's Disease patients after just two months of treatment using the company's wearable head device for in-home treatment.
