Electronic patch measures 6 medical parameters by analyzing sweat.
6 vital signs observed in a non-invasive and in real time: the electronic patch of a Chinese team is a leap forward for diagnostics
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
Cars with AMOLED panels will change color with a click
Cover the car with AMOLED panels to change color instantly and have a lighter interior without buttons? With LESA it will be possible.
The flexible display is a second skin
Imagine a thermometer that shows a patient's temperature with figures appearing directly on his temple. The flexible skin display is reality.
Military algorithm predicts disease 48 hours before symptoms appear
They are subjected to intensive training and robust cycles of vaccinations: they have strong fibers, but they are still human beings, and every now and then they get sick. They are the soldiers, and when they are unwell they can put critical operations at risk. The DTRA (an acronym for Defense Threat Reduction Agency) tries to overcome this problem with a predictive algorithm that can predict a person's illnesses due to different causes, from colds to exposure to biological agents. up to 48 hours… Read more
Echo Loop and Echo Frames, Amazon puts Alexa everywhere
At today's Amazon event, Bezos' company presented a nice batch of Echo products, two of which can be worn 24 hours a day: Echo Loop and Echo Frames
The new AR does not create dizziness or nausea
None of the participants reported nausea or vision problems with this augmented reality system, even after prolonged use.
RF-TENG: powered electronic clothes and waterproof clothes
The waterproof, breathable and antibacterial electric pole feeds itself thanks to the omniphobic triboelectric nano generators.
ElectroDermis, the patch of the future knows when to heal
ElectroDermis can monitor many parameters and dynamics of points (think of the hollow of the knees) not reachable by any plaster in the world.
The electronic tattoo measures your heart beat 24 hours a day
The electronic tattoo prototype developed by the team has energy to last for days, and transmits all the data it collects 24 hours a day on a smartphone.
Energy from snow: developed generator and working devices
They are based on the principles of the so-called "triboelectric effect", and their fields of application are boundless.
Here is the shoe that recharges the smartphone
The future is already here. If it is true that the latest generation smartphones require more and more energy and longer charging cycles, it is also true that science and technology are making giant strides in seeking new alternative sources of energy. An example are these shoes that allow you to recharge your smartphone while walking. It's called Vibram Hero, and it's a shoe that allows, through a special technological innovation, to accumulate electrical energy every time its sole... Read more
A smartwatch that reads the veins
Will Samsung's new smartwatches be able to do everything, even read our biometric data with extreme precision and our veins? Apparently, yes. And so after fingerprints, facial features, voice and iris, in the future wearable electronic devices such as smartwatches could recognize the owner by his veins. The idea is part of a Samsung patent published by the US patent and trademark office. … Read more
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
All about the super job of the future
I often jokingly hear friends say that to get (or keep) a job today you need superpowers (the most sexist and boorish ones in the case of pretty colleagues argue the need for other skills). The future is made up of many things, and an important theme is precisely that of human enhancement, the improvement of physical and mental performance that can arise from the use of new technologies or medical procedures: in this article I want to offer you some ideas to reflect on. … Read more
