Running entrepreneur takes a big step forward
The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has supported an entrepreneur’s vision to help runners find the most appropriate type of footwear.
Health sensor platform enables advanced monitoring
The MAXREFDES101 Health Sensor Platform 2.0 from Maxim Integrated is in stock at Mouser Electronics. The MAXREFDES101 incorporates a comprehensive range of Maxim products to provide a rapid prototyping, evaluation, and development platform for medical applications, providing accurate monitoring of body temperature, heart rate, and electrocardiogram (ECG).
Gesture recognition software for AR smart glasses
A new generation of gesture interaction software has been launched by Crunchfish. This one-gesture software solution has been designed for interaction with any standard AR smart glasses enabling a new interaction method. It makes it possible for the user to control all functions in the glasses with only one gesture, similar to the touchscreen tap interaction.
Wireless multi-parameter patient monitor reference design
This reference design is a simple, wearable, multi-parameter, patient monitor that uses a single-chip, biosensing front end, the AFE4900 device, for synchronised electrocardiography (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) measurements. The measured data is transferred to a remote location using the CC2640R2F device (supporting BLE 4.2 and 5).
Secure Contactless Transactions for Wearable Technology
STMicroelectronics and Fidesmo have created a turnkey active solution for secure contactless payments on smart watches and other wearable technology.
CPI Collaborates with Pireta Limited on Smart Clothing Project
The Centre for Process Innovation is collaborating on a project to support the development of next-generation smart clothing.
Electronic medical devices are going invisible
Wearable tech was born at the point where wireless connected technology grew up and became, paradoxically, smaller. Today, integrated tech that can be discretely worn by users is everywhere – from music and fashion to fitness. Whether it’s smartwatches, heart rate trackers or even clothing, there’s no shortage of integrated, miniaturised tech that allows us to keep tabs on ourselves as we go about our everyday life.
Wearable sleep trackers market expected to continue to grow
In its upcoming report titled ‘Wearable Sleep Trackers Market: Global Industry Analysis 2013 – 2017 and Opportunity Assessment 2018 – 2028’, Future Market Insights aims to deliver key insights on the global wearable sleep tracker market.
Ultrasound patch monitors blood pressure deep inside body
A new wearable ultrasound patch that non-invasively monitors blood pressure in arteries deep beneath the skin could help people detect cardiovascular problems earlier on and with greater precision. In tests, the patch performed as well as some clinical methods to measure blood pressure. Applications include real-time, continuous monitoring of blood pressure changes in patients with heart or lung disease, as well as patients who are criticall...
Helmet exchanges information between brain and electronic devices
Rostec has created a preproduction model of a device for information exchange between the brain and an external device (household appliances, computer, exoskeleton, artificial sensory organs, wheelchair). The neural interface works dependably in large crowds, on mass transport, and when surrounded by a large number of transmitting devices. The Bruk Institute for Electronic Control Computers (INEUM), part of State Corporation Rostec’s A...
