Ever woke up feeling like a truck hit you, only to realize your Apple Watch had been screaming "Warning!" via your data for the last 24 hours? Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the "canary in the coal mine" for our bodies. It's a powerful metric that tracks the variation in time between each heartbeat, serving as a direct window into your Autonomic Nervous System. In this guide, we are going to bui…

The BEST OF K-SAFETY EXPO Global Media Awards on September 3 offered a revealing snapshot of where safety technology is heading: away from passive protection and toward systems that can sense danger, interpret it, and increasingly act before humans intervene.

Your Smartphone May Be Off On Your Exercise Calories By 25% Sorry, Apple. Sorry, Fitbit. You're overcounting calories burned and science shows it. Hank Campbell Sat, 09/05/2026 - 13:28 Categories Technology

JMIR Publications released three feature News and Perspectives articles this week, covering an emerging application of drone delivery, the implications of AI tools used in early education, the nascent field of cancer neurotech, and the future of consumer wearable devices.

Smartwatches can provide useful health information, but many of those numbers are algorithmic estimates rather than direct measurements of the body, and some outputs are more accurate than others, a new University of Michigan study found.

FRIDAY, Sept. 4, 2026 — Your smartwatch may be giving you more credit for your workout than you actually earned.Researchers had 58 adults complete a cycling workout wearing four popular smartwatches, then compared their calorie estimates with...

A new paper-based design tool creates self-folding wearable sensors that conform to body shapes, offering a simple route towards flexible biosignal monitoring for personalised sensing. Researchers at Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan have developed a parametric design tool that transforms flat sheets of paper into self-folding helical wearable sensors. The approach integrates copper tape …

A scalable fabrication platform creates transparent, flexible silicon-photonics chips on 300-mm wafers, potentially enabling conformable sensors, wearable electronics, and curved augmented-reality optical systems. MIT researchers have developed a wafer-scale fabrication platform that could significantly expand the design possibilities of silicon-photonics chips by making them both mechanically fl…

Today, RayNeo has just launched RayNeo iO Smart Glasses, its new model of camera-free smart glasses. I had the opportunity to go hands-on with them, and in this article, I’ll share my first impressions. In the next days, I’ll keep using these smart glasses, and then I will write an exhaustive review about them, going […] The post RayNeo iO Smart Glasses hands-on impressions appeared first on The …

The problem I'm a heavy sleeper. Not "hit snooze once" heavy. I would turn off three stacked alarms in my sleep and wake up an hour late with zero memory of doing it. The problem was never hearing the alarm. It was that turning it off had become a reflex I could do half-asleep, from bed, without ever really waking up. So I built Mornio. The idea Mornio moves the off switch away from the bed. You …

A touch interface uses ordinary laser printing to detect finger movement, offering wiring-free controls for wearables, IoT devices, keyboards, and security applications without complex hardware. Shibaura Institute of Technology has developed a laser-printed PVC touch interface that can detect finger direction and speed without conventional wiring, batteries, or external electrodes. The low-cost t…

Home beauty devices that let users care for their skin conveniently at home have grown popular recently, but conventional LED masks are limited not only by their rigid structures but also by their point-emitting LEDs, which must be positioned away from the skin to spread light over a broader area.
