The app against Parkinson's disease is born
Precisely today that Parkinson's disease has taken away Maurice White, founder and leader of Earth, Wind & Fire, we talk about how technology can help those suffering from this pathology. A team of British researchers is in fact experimenting with the use of an app to monitor the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, helping those who suffer from it in many ways. If at the beginning we thought that wearable devices were almost useless or just nice to look at, the introduction of parameter analysis… Read more
Flexible sensors: a revolution. Our life at a glance.
The best medical devices for measuring blood pressure today require a prolonged stay of the patient in the clinic. An experimental sensor can adhere to the skin almost like a tattoo and monitor this parameter in real time 24 hours a day. Why is a wearable sensor a revolution? A flexible and wearable sensor marks the difference between a simple 'photograph' of the patient and a constant path that allows us to perfectly understand what correlations exist between daily activities and the variation...

Samsung foldable batteries: towards a 'chargeable' world
At the recent InterBattery 2015, an event showcasing all the latest technological solutions in the field of batteries and held in Seoul, Korea, Samsung presented the prototype of a whole new line of batteries that fold like ribbons, capable of providing over 50% energy to wearable devices such as smartwatches. The “striped” battery is designed to fit just like fabric, while still offering high energy density. The first prototypes were integrated directly into the straps… Read more
Facebook and augmented reality: Zuckerberg does not lack much
Mark Zuckerberg responded enthusiastically to the question of whether Facebook is currently working on augmented reality projects. When asked during a convention in San Francisco, the young SEO simply replied "Yes". Facebook's intentions had appeared clear since the purchase of Oculus, the start-up that currently produced one of the best virtual reality devices. And the words used by Michael Abrash, head of the Oculus project, leave no room for doubt: virtual reality is on the home stretch. There is … Read more
Muse, take a look at your brain
There are several wearable devices already designed to monitor our vital parameters, from heartbeat to sleep patterns: a group of inventors is bringing to the market a user-friendly and wearable approach to brain wave monitoring. InteraXon is a Canadian company that is working hard to introduce a band called Muse, to be worn on the forehead, which uses 4 EEG (Electro Encephalogram) sensors capable of showing the traces of the brain. In the initial release… Read more
The great convergence: how AI, biotech and wearables will change everything
The convergence of three key technologies will lead to revolutionary discoveries but also risks of inequality and chaos. You need to prepare.

AI will monitor and study released prisoners to 'reduce recidivism'
A new study aims to monitor the activity of prisoners on probation with artificial intelligence to understand why they fall into error and avoid it. Useful tool or potential vehicle for abuse?
How universal minimum income can change the world
It is talked about everywhere, and many hope for this model. But what would practically change with a universal minimum income? Here are some future scenarios.
Co-Limbs, two more arms that collaborate with us
The universe linked to exoskeletons is made up of a thousand different nuances. There are devices that increase performance, others that support the back, still others dedicated to people with disabilities. Finally, others add functions to functions, multiplying the possibility of carrying out actions. This is the case of "redundant" devices. Having two arms is comfortable and natural, but the opportunities increase considerably if we have four. There is a limit, however, and it is currently represented by the user interface, which is often complicated to use. It would be better … Read more
