The human eye has tremendous capabilities. For many years, researchers and engineers are looking past smart glasses and finding value in wearables much closer to the eyes. There are many projects out there designed to focus on the eyeball throughout contact lens. If smart contact lens catch your attention, we would recommend you our interview with Babak Parviz – one of the brilliant minds behind Google’ project glass here or our article about augmented reality here. Along with the announcement of smart contact lens project at giant Google and some revealed researches about healthcare with smart contact lens in 2016, will 2016 be the year of smart contact lens?
News of Google’s plans for smart contact lens leaked at start of 2014. And in July of this year Google and Partner Novartis announced a deal that would give the license for the tech to the latter. In the patent application officially published on June 25th 2015, Google described packaging for smart contact lens that rests on annular ring at the top of a tiny pedestal. According to the patent application, the smart lens starts with glucose level detecting from tears throughout a sensor apparatus configured. It then send to another device such as smartphone. “This is a key step for us to go beyond the confines of traditional disease management, starting with the eye” said Joseph Jimenez, Novartis CEO. Google smart contact lens are expected to hit the market soon. May be in late 2016?
Another smart contact lens from Sweden which can provides an automated recording of continuous ocular dimensional changes over 24 hours for glaucoma diseases is SENSIMED Triggerfish. The product is better executed by the healthcare professional. The SENSIMED Triggerfish Sensor is a soft disposable silicone contact lens embedded a micro-sensor that can capture spontaneous circumferential changes at the corneoscleral area. The patient wears a portable recorder which stores the data transmitted through a thin flexible cable. At the end the data is transferred via Bluetooth from the recorder to the software. The SENSIMED Triggerfish is waiting for approval for sale in the U.S.A
The next technological improvement we may see in our future contact lenses is that a smart contact lens which can automatically filter out dangerous optical radiation by Australian researchers. Based on the research “Mechanically Tunable Dielectric Resonator Metasurfaces at Frequencies” Published in the journal ACS Nano These researchers from RMIT University and University of Adelaide have developed a new stretchable nanodevice that can manipulate light, while remaining transparent, using tiny artificial crystals. This idea is for smart contact lens to be able to automatically filter out dangerous UV lights while transmitting data and gathering live information for users.
Another research published in the ACS Nano in 2015 reveals the advanced of our future smart contact lens. Dallas researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine are working on a very thin lens called the “Nanowafer”. It takes advantaged of how the eyes can be used to quickly and efficiently absorb medicines. Thus, the Nanowafer is aimed to deliver drug to the eye over a predetermined period of time. The Nanowafer can revolutionise on how certain medication is delivered as it is accurate, waste-free and far less invasive than eye drops. The technology is heading for clinic trials in 2016.
Smart Contacts Lenses technology is being paid much attention to at the moment. Lenses may one day be used to monitor cancers, as lacryglobin is elevated in human tears in patient with breast, colon, lung, prostate, and ovarian cancers.

Don’t miss THE wearable event in Spain!
Kamil Adamczyk is the CEO of Inteliclinic and inventor of the Neuroon. The American company is a hardware house that creates devices, which use artificial intelligence methods for precise biological signals processing. With the Neuroon – the first of coming series medical grade accuracy wearables, the smart brainwaves monitoring sleep mask, Inteliclinic won LeWeb Paris startup competition for the best startup in 2013 and has been chosen the best sleep startup in 2015 by HealthXL with cooperation with Cleveland Clinic. We are proud to have Kamil on stage our 1st WT | Wearable Technologies Conference in Barcelona on February 24! Here a brief interview with him in case you are curious already.
Can you tell our readers why they shouldn’t miss your talk in Barcelona and give them a sneak peek?
I am so excited about this opportunity. This is my first appearance at the Wearable Technologies Conference and also the first time to tell your audience about the Neuroon: a project we have worked on for the past two years and that was launched in the beginning of 2016 in its final version. The topic of my speech is: Your body is a clock: How your circadian rhythm affects your health. My plan is to interest the participants in the theory of how light can influence a person’s circadian rhythm. This idea is supported by the latest research from Stanford University that proves an even bigger impact of light on our bodies than was previously understood. Have you ever heard about Non-Image forming? I would like to discuss that the eye is not only purposed to see the world but also to understand it, providing our bodies with much more information including the regulation of body hormones and determining when we’re sleepy or awake. Of course I also will not miss the opportunity to share the most interesting information about the technology behind the Neuroon and it’s features because, thanks to this product, I can be here giving this speech. The Neuroon is a revolutionary wearable device – the first one on the consumer market that can analyze human sleep by monitoring brain waves and improve sleep quality using the breakthrough technology of Bright Light Therapy.
What biometric data can Neuroon measure? Using this information how can you help people to sleep better with Neuroon?
The Neuroon measures the biological parameters of the sleeper, including brain waves (single-channel EEG), pulse (pulse oximetry), body temperature, eye movement (EOG) and body movement during sleep (actigraphy). Based on the collected data, the Neuroon mask creates a personalized Bright Light Therapy to improve the user’s sleep quality. The Neuroon also uses an “artificial dawn” to wake the user up with light of gradually increasing intensity, a function that reduces the unpleasant effects of morning sleep inertia. The core functionality of the device is nearly medical-grade sleep measurements and helping people who work shifts, suffer jet lag, or have problems falling asleep. Bright Light Therapy is a technology that can alleviate jet lag, improve sleep efficiency, and help the user to fall asleep faster. The benefits of Bright Light Therapy were confirmed in a landmark study by Stanford University researchers lead by Jamie Zeitzer, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences in 2014 and 2016.
What was the most tricky part when developing this product?
Initially, the project aimed at creating a device that would analyze users’ sleeping patterns and provide advice for people who want to sleep polyphasically, a process that breaks up sleep into napping intervals instead of a single nightly sleep episode. After over a year of consultations with leading authorities on sleep medicine, including Christopher Drake, PhD, the Director of Sleep Research at the Henry Ford Hospital and the former Chairman of the Board of the National Sleep Foundation, we decided that the Neuroon project should grow beyond sleep monitoring to include pulse tracking and light therapy. In addition to the scientific and engineering difficulties of the project, production and manufacturing was a very tricky part of development. As a startup we didn’t have much experience and contacts with subcontractors. We needed to carefully check every cooperation proposal and choose the best quality components, a process that was also a challenge for us. As of today we have successfully managed to produce more than 1000 masks.
Currently the sleep mask is available for newer iPhone and Samsung models. Will it be available for other phones as well in the future?
Prior to releasing the final version of the Neuroon and its companion app, we asked our Kickstarter backers, who supported us from the very beginning, and other customers who pre-ordered the mask – what kind of smartphone do they use. The results weren’t surprising: more than 70% declared that it’s iPhone and the majority of the rest answered that it is one of the newest Samsung Galaxy S phones. Our developers are working very hard now on introducing the full compatibility of the Neuroon Companion App to all the other Android devices.The greatest idea behind using a mobile app is that we can basically update it all the time. Thanks to this, even after the customer receives the product we can still surprise clients by adding new features to the Neuroon.
Are you wearing any wearables (besides your own)? Which ones?
I have to admit that I am a wearables addict. I cannot imagine my life now without a smartwatch, which is directly connected to my smartphone, or a step tracker. I also use a device that works as a heart rate monitor and a fitness tracker. I’m sleeping with two smartwatches on both hands. Some may say I’m crazy (ask my girlfriend) and that these are only gadgets and whims, but I really feel that the data these devices provide me are useful. Due to my education, I like to know what is going on with my body, how it reacts in different situations and conditions and what I can do to improve it. In comparison to all these trackers that I mentioned, the Neuroon is distinguished by not only being a tracking device but also by actually monitoring user’s sleep comparable to medical devices and helping improve their sleep quality.

Smart technology integrated into clothes, for example belts is not a new idea. Recently smart belt from technology giant Samsung has just come back on stage at CES 2016. This event caused us to noticed that smart belts are peaking back onto the market. Are the consumers ready for a come back ?
In the past, the idea of smart belt :
SMART Belt
This SMART (Seizure Monitoring and Response Transducer) belt is one of the first ideas about smart belt on market by a group of graduating seniors from Rice University. SMART is dedicated to help people living with epilepsy. Two silver chloride electrodes are integrated into SMART to detect changes in skin conductance. By noticing changes in respiration rate and increased build-up of sweat on the skin, the belt can wirelessly send a message to a parent or guardian to take action.
Suunto
The Suunto Smart Sensor is designed as a heart rate belt. It measure heart rate with great comfort and accuracy whatever sport you play. Pairing the sensor with free Suunto Movescount App, you can also analyse, relive and share your moves to make every move count.
At the moment, smart belts at CES 2016 :
Samsung Belt Welt
Welt looks like a normal belt but it is actually a smart wearable healthcare belts. Welt is capable of recording the users’ waist size, eating habit. It also track steps, inactive time (such as sitting down.) Then, the data collected is sent to an app for analysis. After analysing, the app produces a range of personalized healthcare and weight management plan.
Belty
At CES 2015, Belty introduced a smart belt that adjusts when you eat too much. The Belty automatically adjusts to your expanding or shrinking waistline and tracks those changes for you.
At CES 2016, Belty merged fashion and technology. They altered their Belty design to look and feel high-end fashion. The very special point of Belty is that artificial intelligent is integrated to promote a healthy lifestyle. It helps you enjoy simple moments throughout the day by encouraging you to do the little things that can have powerful impacts on your daily life. It does this by sending good vibes your way! How? For example, when you are walking Belty can increase your walking pace through rhythm. In addition, Belty Good Vibes can actually communicate with you by vibrating real-time to help you and your body take action. The smart Belty can learn from you when you tap on the buckle.
It is obvious that nobody wants to walk around looking like a computer. Therefore high-tech clothes are becoming more casual. Smart Belt has been back on stage with a more fashionable and attractive look. Is it a decade of high-tech fashion? Let’s see if there are more classy techy belts on the market. WT | Wearable Technologies will keep you updated!

Dr. Alex Garcia-Faura, Scientific Director at Babypod, will be speaking at the WT | Wearable Technologies Conference in Barcelona on February 24. Music has many benefits for the human brain, can improve learning capabilities, stimulates communication and language, and the form of expression and coordination of movements. Babypod, a small vaginal device, can stimulate vocalization of babies before birth with music. Dr. Alex Garcia-Faura explains how it works and what the benefits are:
We are proud to have you on stage in Barcelona on February 24 with your very special product. Do you have a musical background? How did you come up with the idea for the product?
I studied music theory, solfa and flute for 12 years in Barcelona. I also had a one year stage in Chicago to study opera, chorus and drama.
Our clinical reseach during the last three years has been focused on the effects of music during the early stages of life; in our preliminary studies, applying music to pregnant patients using abdominal speakers, we discovered that there was no fetal reaction to music and that the fetus would only be able to hear it as a distorted whisper because of the effects of the abdominal wall. We thought that it would be necessary to get the music closer to the fetus, and we decided to try to apply the music vaginally. It was a great decision.
What was the most tricky part when making this product? When did you start developing and how long did it take you to get where you are today?
The most difficult part of this project was that we had no data and no literature available to review before setting the features of the first prototype. It was the first time that a fetus would listen to music in an effective and non-distorted way, and we didn’t know which volume to use, what sort of music to play, or how to evaluate the fetal response to the stimulus; during the first steps of this projects, the advice of medical experts on audition and brain development was mandatory to make sure that we would’nt be able to cause any harm: a clinical trial approved by an Ethics Committee was performed on 100 patients, and the results where published on The Journal of the British Society in Medical Ultrasound.
The first prototypes used as a vaginal musical device were designed about two years ago, and were used for the preliminary clinical trials with a great success. The Babypod is the result of the evolution of this prototypes, that have already been used on more than 1.000 pregnant patients in different clinical studies.
Wearables that are worn inside the body rise higher health concerns than a wristband for example. What is your answer to questions like radiation and other potential harmful effects of electronic devices?
The design and development of the Babypod has always been based on scientiffic evidence obtained on our clinical trials performed by gynaecologysts. All he results referring to the effects of Babypod on pregnancy and fetus have been published on medical journals, and reviewed by Ethics Commitees.
We decided that the Babypod would not be a wireless device just because we didn’t have the evidence that Bluetooth o Wi-fi would be safe for the fetus.
What are the benefits of your product for an unborn child? What kind of music do you suggest to play to a baby – also after birth?
We already know that early sensorial stimulation with music has been shown to be good for kids, specially to develop higher skills in speech and communication. The Babypod is the only device thas has been able to produce a fetal response with specific speech movements, when music is played vaginally after the 16th week of pregnancy: now we have the chance to start activating this brain pathways before birth. Further studies will be necessary to evaluate long term benefits on this kids.
One of our largest studies with babypod has to do with fetal reponse to different types of music and different types of human voice. The results might be available during this year and will be presented on medical congresses in obstetrics and perinatology. Mozart is one of the best stimulus for fetal reaction, but also some ancestral types of music that have been played and preserved for more than 500 years.
What is your favorite wearable besides your own of course?
I’m just waiting to find it in this 2016 WT meeting … but I’m sure that it will have to be related to passion for music !!
You want to talk to Dr. Alex Garcia-Faura and the Babypod team in person and learn more about this product? Don’t hesitate to contact us for a code to unlock registration.

We are now familiar with common fitness trackers, which can track activities, sleep, calories or heart rate. However, recently researchers are focusing on tracking sweat. This is because sweat can reveal more about the health of the body. In fact, many researches have shown that sweat stores great data. Up until now, it was too difficult to measure it on patients and people. WT | Wearable Technologies would like to provide you an overview about wearables equipped with sweat-sensor on the market to see how and where this technology evolves.
ECHO Monitor
ECHO is a smart patch which analyses critical biomarkers such as sodium and potassium, all from a single bead of sweat. Everyone sweats – it’s an essential function of a healthy body. ECHO smart patch disappears under your clothes by adhering directly to your torso. This part is known to be highly accurate and provides reliable analysis of vital signs. Regarding your sweat rate and volume, ECHO only needs the smallest micro-bead to perform an analysis of key biomarkers. By using more inputs, ECHO smart patch gives out better and more accuracy results throughout multiple sensors signals.
Embrace
Embrace watch is a product of Empatica which is aimed to help people living with epilepsy. Beyond that, Embrace is simple to monitor physiological stress, arousal, sleep and physical activity. There are 4 sensors that provide the most accurate result. Accelerometer sensors are also used to capture movement while gyroscope sensor uses Earth’s gravity to help determine orientation. Electrodermal activity sensor recognizes physiological stress, for example through sweat and temperature sensing. Electrodermal activity (EDA) a.k.a Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), is autonomic data that is activated by regions deep in the brain involved in emotion such as fear, anxiety and positive excitement. Therefore, EDA is strongly activated during the kinds of seizures which a region of brain is shut down to breathe.
Halo Wearables
Since September 2015 Halo Wearables finished its final prototype that tracks athletes’ hydration which has many sports teams as interested customers. The completed sweat-tracking H1 will be announced early this year. H1 has a smartwatch look with sensors that monitor a user’s hydration status. Optical sensors and two electromagnetic pads are integrated on the backside of the watch. Optical sensors track sodium and potassium levels from sweat. It also includes a thermistor which meausres skin temperature, humidity and air temperature. The Halo H1 analyze the data in real time and provide users with a relative value of their hydration on a scale of 100-1 using the 3 Halo index: green, yellow and red. Green zone lets users know tanks are full. Yellow zone informs users to consider fuel up soon. Red zone warns users tanks are empty.
There are not so many sweat-tracking wearables available on the market at the moment. However, one day your fitness tracker can move on from counting steps and tracking your heart rate to crunching data on something else: your sweat. A group of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley has developed a wearable sensor that can monitor various components in sweat.
Sources : et al. Nature http://ift.tt/1nyvptL (2016)
According to paper in Nature, the sensor can measure levels of chemicals in sweat such as potassium and lactate. Moreover, it can keep track of skin temperature. The wireless sensor which sends data to a phone via Bluetooth can also be incorporated into wrist and headbands.
More research is needed. However, the technology is expected to apply into wearable devices to study what sweat can tell us about the diseases.

You would think that the scientific agreement that climate change is among us, as well as the intense need for providing easier to use energy would involve making renewable energy for IoT and wearables. This is WT most recent research on the new developments of energy harvesting. From 2015, we wrote about a few new products that can enhance your tech experience – because having your battery die is never a fun thing.
Solar Cells are growing from stiff silicon semiconductors to flexible plastic. This can enable faster production and cheaper insulation because you can print organic solar cells in a quick amount of time. Not only is this important for making wearable devices more durable, but it also can bring renewable energy to small villages that have insufficient to zero power. On top of becoming smaller and liter, solar cells are also being tested against water and extreme temperatures.
Heat your body from any form of light with ThermalTec Jacket. Just successfully funded on Indigogo, ThermalTec can manipulate any light form to produce energy to warm or cool your body. The jacket comes in various styles (with or without hood) for both male and female bodies. The idea is that while you are living or visiting a cold place, you can maintain your personal favorite body temperature. How does it work? Your inner layer of fabric is woven with tiny pieces of metal, thus enabling electric power – but lite weight- connections. The jacket needs a few more months before it is able to send to non-backers. But sign up and be one of the first to own this truly unique jacket.
Electrostrictive polymers allows for textiles to harvest energy. A group from INSA de Lyon wrote that they are able to increase their mechanical energy performance with the use of a plasticizer. In short, the lead researcher, Xunqian Yin, has extensive reports on the produced field-induced strain of the electrostritive polymers once applied to an electric field. This effect is categorized under the energy harvesting of piezoelectric energy – a result of mechanical stress. The topic becomes interesting because the polymers are not naturally piezoelectric when strained – however they give a “pseudo-piezoelectric effect” when given large amounts of DC electricity. The possibilities for application begin with force sensors and expand to the imagination.
To end on a prototype of the future – WT introduces to you Tecnopicnic by Atelier Teratoma. It is a compacted backpack and picnic table. The idea is to manifest outdoor eating in urban settings. So instead of stopping by your favorite fast food restaurant for lunch, you can pack your own snacks and sit outside for a quick and party-filled picnic. The table contains a solar panel to charge your phone, or tablet and a set of speakers for enjoying tunes.
WT will be on the lookout for updates throughout the year. So please feel free to suggest new R&D or products that hit the market.

Our patented technology is applicable to all chronic respiratory diseases – and there are more than ½ billion people in the world with chronic respiratory diseases. Our first application is asthma, primarily because all of the proof-of-concept work was performed with asthmatics, and also because Sharon, one of our co-founders, has asthma – so we understand first-hand what a difference this can make in the lives of asthmatics and their care-givers. As one of the judges said to us – our wearable does everything that a wearable is supposed to do – monitors and develops a baseline unique to the individual wearing it, provides notifications when there is a deviation from that baseline and allows the wearer to take preventive action well in advance of the symptoms they generally recognize. In addition, the wearable is completely autonomous – all processing is done onboard (pairing not required), so there is no need to be in range of a smartphone, making it very well suited to young children and those without smart phones. Finally, we offer physicians and other providers unparalleled access to objective data on how the asthmatic is doing between visits. Imagine the opportunities for truly configuring the asthma management plans to best suit each individual; the opportunities for hospitals to track patients post-discharge so they can reduce re-admittances; the reduction in healthcare burden and loss of productivity associated with asthma – the possibilities are endless. When we consider the other respiratory diseases that we can apply this to, we understand the potential is boundless and life-changing for many.

You know what it’s like. You sit in front of your computer for hours, usually a little slouchy because it’s more comfortable and hard to remember yourself to sit straight. You only get up to grab a coffee and snack and for a short chat with your colleagues. And in the evening your back hurts. Or you are really happy that you motivated yourself to do an extended workout on a rainy Sunday, but suddenly you feel like – well, you are stuck in a complicated yoga pose.
Our spine is a fragile body part and to keep it and yourself healthy, you have to keep many things in mind – especially when you are not twenty anymore. There are a lot of gadgets on the market helping you to correct your posture and several who even claim to replace a personal coach whilst doing sports to improve your performance and to avoid the risk of injuries.
Namu’s ALEX is positioned at the neck and can measure the exact position of your head and neck to determine bad posture. The information is sent to your smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0 LE. You can customize the reminders, e.g. the frequency and intensity of the alerts, and the companion coaching app guides you to address bad habits and tracks your progress constantly. The battery lasts up to seven days. The product has already reached their goal on Kickstarter, but you can still support ALEX until Tuesday this week. Shipping to the backers will start in May 2016.
PortuspineWear is another posture tracker worn at the neck. The device measures your pose and movement (via accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc.), and sends the data to the mobile phone. The app shows you the improvements and achievements you made according to your previously specified goals. If you like, you can use the entire ecosystem and transfer the data to a cloud. Health experts, ergonomists and doctors can give tips for a better posture in real-time.
TruPosture is a smart shirt designed to improve your posture and reduce back pain. The multi-sensor technology tracks the alignment of the entire spine and trains you with feedback by visual displays and vibrations to help you maintain the ideal posture. Shipping starts in March 2016 and the shirt will cost about 99$.
J!NS MEME comes in the shape of glasses. Three-point electrooculography sensors are located on the nose pads, capture changes in blinks and eye movements and that way can determine about your physical condition, e.g. your level of concentration, fatigue, or composure. The accelerometer can detect slightest changes in your body axis and the gyroscope detects changes in your mind and body. Depending on the model you bought you can use the device to boost your running performance or use the alert function to warn when you are close to falling asleep whilst driving.
Upright, is a sensor worn at your back which comes with a smart learning algorithm and personalized training program. It is available for $129.95. You should also have a look at their tipps to avoid backpain at the workplace.

Have you been losing hair? FInd yourself not loving your new bald spot? Or maybe you are not happy with expensive hair restoration surger? Even so the American Hair Loss Association stated that anyone can experience hair loss – in fact women make up 40% of American hair loss sufferers. For many of us, hair can be an important part of our identity. However, don’t worry! Wearables Tech can provide great and cheap solutions.
Theradome
Theradome LH 80 PRO has the shape of a convenient helmet that has proven to give powerful results. It does not require a prescription, nor does it involve medication that can trigger harmful side effects. With only one button on the helmet and a quick 20-minute session you can trigger hair growth in your own home. Laser light is their key. Theradom aims to penetrate the scalp at a depth of 3-5 mm and reach the base of a hair follicle – laser can get the job done quickly. By treating the base of hair follicle, the cold laser ensures the mitochondria of hair cell is stimulated. However, hair follicle can only absorb coherent laser light at a wave length of 678 +/- 8 nm. The Theradome LH80 proprietary lasers harness the power of red light at an optimized wave length which is ideal for clinical strength hair rejuvenation. Besides, specialists advice to use the Theradome 80 maximum twice a week.
iGrow
The iGrow is a clinically proven and safe in-home device. It is designed and produced to treat thinning hair and balding in both men and women. Igrow uses low level light therapy (LLLT) that utilise laser or light energy below a specific energy threshold and within a specific wavelength. LLLT devices produce no heat, are safe and cannot burn or injure the skin. Within 12 and 16 weeks of using iGrow, as directed, most users reported they can see positive change. Within 24 weeks (or 6 months) of using hair starts to look thicker, fuller and healthier. Besides, iGrow is not recommend for serious hair loss such as totally bald.
Hairmax
Hairmax devices are laser hair loss treatments with patented hair parting teeth. These hair parting teeth play an important part in treatment since they part the hair for optimal delivery of laser light energy to hair follicles. Hair is a photo protectant, which means it acts as a natural sun blocker for the scalp; therefore the patented hair-parting mechanism parts your hair to create a pathway for the light to reach your scalp which allows for the ideal delivery of laser light energy to reach the follicle and achieve the optimal results.
Lasercap
The LaserCap is a flexible dome-shaped plastic membrane containing 225 low lever lasers, which can be worn inside a cap or hat. Similar to the Theradome, it is designed to be a wearable solution for hair loss using LLLT. The LaserCap can be worn by men and women concerned with hair loss or thinning hair. With as little as three 30-minutes treatments per week, you can experience thicker, stronger and fuller hair in 3-6 months.
Hair loss can happen at any age, for a multitude of reasons. Hair loss can be very stressful and emotional process. Nevertheless, it doesn’t have to be because you are not alone in your struggle and now there cheaper solitions. These wearable laser devices are on the market for you!
