By Anthony Buzzerio, Venkat Nandivada, and Rohit Ramnath The growing field of wearable medical technology relies heavily on miniaturized sensors capable of providing accurate and continuous physiological data. Ensuring the long-term reliability and performance of these sensors — often subjected to demanding conditions including physical stress, thermal fluctuations, and exposure to bodily ... » read more

Scaling Ultra-Low-Power Edge Intelligence For Smart Devices
By Tanushri Shah - 05 Feb, 2026 - Comments: 0

For decades, the data collection pipeline for sensors has been the exact same—measure, transmit, and process elsewhere. While it’s been a failproof method all these years, it’s also resulted in a large amount of energy consumption, meaning your smart watch could have a longer battery life. Neuronova is aiming to change things up. The company’s goal? Empowering the next generation of ... » read more

Smart t-shirt with sound waves Researchers at ETH Zurich developed a smart textile that uses acoustic waves passed through glass fibers to measure touch, pressure, and movement. The researchers said that using acoustic waves rather than electronics makes measurements more precise with low power consumption and the textiles lighter, more breathable, and easier to wash. It also uses readily avai... » read more

Fiber computer Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Rhode Island School of Design, and Brown University developed a programmable elastic fiber computer that could be woven into clothing to monitor health conditions and physical activity. Clothing created using the fiber computer was reported as comfortable and machine washable. The single elastic fiber computer cont... » read more

Med Tech Morphs Into Consumer Wearables
By Liz Allan - 06 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

Doctors have been using advanced technology for years, but the growing trend is for consumers to use devices at home and have direct access to their data. Watches and rings that were once primarily used for counting steps or registering sleep patterns can now read blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, and other early signs of illness. Meanwhile, various patches are under d... » read more
