While most people wear a PFD (personal floatation device) when boating, such is typically not the case when they're swimming in open water. A new prototype wristband is designed for such scenarios, as it features floatation airbags that can be manually deployed if needed.

Wearable electronics could soon be powered by dead microbes. New research out of UMass Amherst has demonstrated a biofilm that generates electricity from sweat, harnessing the corpses of dead bacteria – and it's at least as effective as a battery.

What if a fitness tracker sitting on your wrist could detect COVID-19 before you even developed symptoms? A study claims this is not only possible, but preliminary investigations found infections can be detected two days before symptoms appear.

With the fitness wearable market exploding in popularity a team of researchers wondered whether these devices could be used to detect the earliest signs of dementia. A new study suggests that could be possible.
-
People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) often experience involuntary movements, which disrupt their ability to perform many tasks. A new device could help reduce those movements, by buzzing its wearer in the wrist.
