If a boat full of people is zipping across the water, it’s possible that one of them could fall overboard without anyone noticing … at least, not right away. The 1st Mate Marine Safety and Security system is designed to keep that from happening.Conti… Continue reading 1st Mate system sounds the alarm on boaters going overboard
A novel wearable device has been proposed to deliver electrical pulses stimulating the olfactory system as a way of preventing or slowing dementia-related neurodegeneration. A dysfunctional sense of smell is suspected to be one of the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s so it is hypothesized these diseases could be prevented by olfactory stimulation.

Researchers at Drexel University have created “Faraday fabrics” that can block almost all electromagnetic waves. The key ingredient is a 2D material called MXene, and the development could help protect wearables from interference and people from potent… Continue reading Experimental “Faraday fabric” blocks almost all electromagnetic waves
If you should become separated from your solo sailboat, kayak or other watercraft out on the open sea, staying afloat isn’t the only challenge – you also have to be seen by your rescuers. That’s where the wearable, inflatable SeeArch is made to come in… Continue reading Wearable inflatable SeeArch pops up for open-water rescues
If you think polyimide-based flexible PCBs are cool, wait until you get a load of what polymerized liquid metal networks can do.
Seems like [CNLohr] has some pretty cool friends, and he recently spent some time with a couple of them who are working with poly LMNs and finding out …read more

Classic watchmaker Citizen has long been focused on the past, but now it’s embracing modern technology a bit more. The CZ Smart isn’t Citizen’s first smartwatch, but is the company’s first to sport an all-digital display, bringing a suite of familiar a… Continue reading Citizen unveils its first all-digital smartwatch, the CZ Smart
A preliminary study, from a large and ongoing research project, is suggesting measurements from fitness tracker wearables and smartwatches, alongside self-reported symptom data, can effectively detect cases of COVID-19. The goal of the project is to de… Continue reading Fitness tracker and smartwatch data used to predict COVID-19 cases
Fossil has been one of the biggest backers of Wear OS, putting out numerous smartwatches powered by Google’s software, and its new Gen 5E line offers wearables that are a little smaller and more affordable than the main Gen 5 models.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading New Fossil Gen 5E smartwatches make Wear OS more affordable
If we count all the screens in our lives, it takes a hot minute. Some of them are touchscreens, some need a mouse or keyboard, but we are accustomed to all the input devices. Not everyone can use the various methods, like cerebral palsy patients who rely on eye-tracking hardware. …read more
Human sweat contains all sorts of chemicals that can be used to monitor our health, and scientists are looking to tap into this with devices that track everything from stress to blood sugar levels. Researchers have now found two new biomarkers in sweat… Continue reading Biomarkers linked to IBD flareups can be monitored through sweat
