We all know that wearable devices can collect health-related data: the number of steps taken, floors climbed, calories burned, sleep time, and heart rate, to name but a few. But what about evaluating a person’s mental health? A new study has found that… Continue reading Wearables can assess mental health, boost access to care
There may be new hope for people who suffer from involuntary muscle tremors. Scientists are developing a partially implanted system that stimulates muscles in order to stop their problematic activity – with a little help from the nervous system.Continu… Continue reading Experimental system may stop unwanted tremors by subtly zapping muscles
When deaf athletes with cochlear implants take part in sports like rugby, they have to wear headgear that protects the external parts of their implant. A new wearable serves that same purpose, while reportedly allowing users to hear the sounds around t… Continue reading Special headgear allows deaf athletes to better hear shouts and cheers
It is believed that long before Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases present more obvious symptoms, the disorders may be noticeable in subtle changes to a person’s sleep patterns.

MIT scientists have developed a new wearable patch that can deliver drugs through the skin more efficiently and painlessly. The device uses pulses of ultrasound to pry open the skin, which could improve topical medications or even tattoos.Continue Read… Continue reading Painless patch uses ultrasound to deliver drugs through the skin
Engineers at ETH Zurich have developed a wearable system that can help patients regain movement and mobility after a stroke. The system consists of a motion-sensing watch and an earpiece that zaps a nerve to help rewire neural circuits.Continue Reading… Continue reading Earpiece zaps nerves to rewire the brain and speed stroke recovery
If you’re in the market for something to obfuscate your nefarious nocturnal activities, rejoice — this adversarial infrared hoodie may be just what you’re looking for. Not that we condone …read more Continue reading Adversarial IR Hoodie Lets You Own the Night in Anonymity
In order to help someone quit smoking, it’s important to know how much they smoke in the first place, and to what degree they may periodically falter. An experimental new smoking-tracking necklace is designed to help in both regards.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Heat-sensing SmokeMon necklace could help smokers quit the habit
Some would argue there’s not nearly enough going on in the wearable vehicle space. Perhaps not many, if anything’s to be gleaned from the echoing silence that greeted this Hungarian wearable belt-o-scooter when it went to Indiegogo for crowdfunding.Con… Continue reading Former Lilium designer debuts “highly athletic” wearable vehicle
We’ve all seen those ‘nothing’ keyboards, where the keys themselves are not much more than projected lasers, and users are asked to ritually beat their poor fingertips into the table …read more Continue reading Spray-On Keyboard is as Light as It Gets
