Researchers at MIT have designed a wearable ultrasound patch that can image organs as well as a conventional ultrasound does, without the need for cold gel or an operator. While they used it to measure bladder fullness, the device could also be adapted… Continue reading MIT’s wearable ultrasound patch measures bladder fullness without gel
Inspired by bats’ use of echolocation, researchers have developed smart glasses that transform visual information into unique sound representations that enhance the ability of blind and vision-impaired people to navigate their surroundings. The technol… Continue reading Bat-inspired glasses help the blind & vision-impaired ‘see’ using sound
AI machine learning uses so much computing power and energy that it’s typically done in the cloud. But a new microtransistor, 100X more efficient than the current tech, promises to bring new levels of intelligence to mobile and wearable devices.Continu… Continue reading Ultra-efficient machine learning transistor cuts AI energy use by 99%
Ordinarily, headlamp users have to manually switch the angle of their device, depending on what they’re doing. The Adaptev Headlamp isn’t like that, in that it automatically switches beam angles based on its wearer’s head movements.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Adaptev Headlamp automatically changes its beam as you move your head
While it’s important for dermatologists to know just how itchy a person’s skin is, patients’ self-assessments tend to be quite subjective. A new wearable sensor could help, by objectively measuring the frequency and intensity of its user’s scratching s… Continue reading Finger-worn device designed to objectively quantify itchiness
In fast-paced sports such as tennis, keeping your eye on the ball – and on your opponent – is essential to success. The FalconFrames wearable was designed with that fact in mind, as it’s claimed to help boost its user’s neuro-visual skills.Continue Rea… Continue reading Performance-building FalconFrames keep an eye on athletes’ eyes
A new study has found that almost all wristbands harbor bacteria that have the potential to make us sick, but some wristband materials are prone to higher bacterial counts than others. It’s a timely reminder of the importance of regularly disinfecting … Continue reading 95% of wristbands found to be a breeding ground for bacteria
There are plenty of jackets out there with adjustable vents, but virtually all of them require that you manually open the vents when you run hot – not necessarily convenient when you’re in rhythm on a run. With its all-new Aerogami running jacket, Nike… Continue reading Nike Aerogami running jacket vents open automatically when you sweat
Researchers have developed a wearable, noninvasive sensor that monitors for a biomarker of inflammation in the wearer’s sweat. They say the device could be used at home by people with chronic inflammatory diseases.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sci… Continue reading Wearable noninvasive sensor monitors sweat for signs of inflammation
