Ordinarily, headlamp users have to manually switch the angle of their device, depending on what they're doing. The Adaptev Headlamp isn't like that, in that it automatically switches beam angles based on its wearer's head movements.
-
While it's important for dermatologists to know how itchy a person's skin is, patients' self-assessments are quite subjective. A new wearable sensor could help, by objectively measuring the frequency and intensity of its user's scratching sessions.

In fast-paced sports such as tennis, keeping your eye on the ball – and on your opponent – is essential to success. The FalconFrames wearable was designed with that fact in mind, as it's claimed to help boost its user's neuro-visual skills.

A new study has found that almost all wristbands harbor bacteria that have the potential to make us sick, but some wristband materials are prone to higher bacterial counts than others. It's a reminder to regularly sanitize these commonly used items.

With its all-new Aerogami running jacket, Nike experiments with a more intuitive, seamless form of ventilation. The jacket's vents automatically open when the runner sweats, providing cooling that doesn't require slowing down or yanking on zippers.
-
Researchers have developed a wearable, noninvasive sensor that monitors for a biomarker of inflammation in the wearer’s sweat. They say the device could be used at home by people with chronic inflammatory diseases.

The health of Australian military personnel could soon be monitored using data collected by smartwatches and wearable devices and analyzed using a machine learning algorithm thanks to a new project designed to detect biological and chemical threats early.
-
Engineers have developed a fully integrated wearable ultrasound device that monitors deep tissues in real-time for up to 12 hours. What's more, it's wireless, meaning that patients can stay mobile while doctors track their vital signs remotely.
-
Equipping people with extra sets of robotic arms could definitely help them perform certain tasks, but what role might such arms play in social interactions? The wild-looking Jizai Arms were designed with that question in mind.
-
We all know that wearable devices collect health-related data like the number of steps taken or sleep quality. But what about evaluating a person’s mental health? A new study has found that wearables can do that, too.
-
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.

When deaf athletes with cochlear implants take part in sports, they have to wear headgear that protects the external parts of their implant. A new wearable serves that same purpose, while allowing users to hear the sounds around them much better.
