Intelligent helmets for cyclists
Intelligent bike helmets are the future of cycling in the city, with LIVALL being just one example of a designer of smart bicycle helmets. They feature things like built in lights, as well as indicators to show traffic which way you are going. There are built in sensors and alarms that alert friends and family when you have had an accident, and there are built-in microphones and speakers to make it easier to communicate with others while you are on the go and listen to all of your favourite music or podcasts. This is another example of a wearable that is making the world safer.
Apollo: the wearable that helps with stress
Apollo is a wearable wellness device developed by physicians and neuroscientists and is designed to measure heart rate variability and improve it to reduce stress levels. While actively improving your biometric stresses, the Apollo device is designed to help you feel more calm, balanced and live a happier life using cutting-edge technology.
Chronic stress can trigger our nervous system and impairs our ability to recover. Through a natural response, Apollo activates a parasympathetic response and restores balance.
This device does not track your biometrics – it actively improves them. Trials in both the lab and the real world repeatedly show that Apollo improves the body’s resilience to stress.
Smart clothing for physical training
Wearable devices are changing the way we train our body, giving us live feedback of our physical performance during exercise. With a combination of AI and biometric sensors embedded into clothing, wearable devices help us get the most out of each workout.
Athos’s recently developed smart clothing measures how hard your muscles are working during exercise, giving important feedback on which muscle groups are getting sufficient workout during an exercise programme. The use of EMG (Electromyography) technology, combined with powerful AI and a mobile app provides a powerful way of enhancing body performance during exercise, and gives insights about how the body performs.
This device is ideal for athletes and anyone that does any sort of physical activity, and it provides data on how different muscle groups are working. This helps athletes better understand their body’s performance levels and where they need to change things to improve.
Wearable devices for sports and fitness performance monitoring have been used by professional sport teams and elite athletes more and more, and recent developments in sensor and algorithm technologies will further increase their importance in keeping athletes in top shape.
Smart Belt Pro
If you’re using a smart watch to monitor your fitness, you’re probably thinking about your waistline already. Winner of the Innovation Award, WELT, designed the WELT Smart Belt Pro, which provides the “world’s first” fall prevention feature through the sensor located at the centre of the body which detects patterns in small steps. The embedded sensors and algorithms within the belt then accurately calculate the fall risk from abnormal gait patterns.
If the wearer shows an unstable gait pattern and, thus, a higher fall risk, the accompanying WELT Smart Belt Pro app will send a warning notification through the user’s phone. By regularly evaluating the risk of a fall and anticipating falls that may occur in the future, the belt gives wearers added reassurance and confidence.
Alongside the unique fall prevention feature, the smart belt also incorporates other handy features including waist measurement, sitting time measurement, monitoring for overeating and step counting.
The Smart Belt Pro can track everything from dietary habits to exercise whilst keeping your trousers up too. Not bad from a piece of leather:)
eSkin Sleep and Lounge
e-skin Sleep & Lounge offers the same comfort and casual design of regular pajamas and loungewear while also being able to analyze the wearer’s sleep condition, automatically adjusting the room environment accordingly. It also enables everyday monitoring of the wearer’s activity levels and can detect falls.
This device is a set of smart clothing that measures the wearer’s sleep and can connect with other devices through IoT and automatically adjusts the room temperature while sleeping. During the day, it provides you with alerts via the smart home’s speaker if it detects that you’ve been inactive for too long.
Tracking the wearer’s vital signs and body motion during sleep, it evaluates the quality of sleep and gives advice on how to improve sleeping habits.
The wearables industry is evolving all the time. Lune Digital is a 100% New Zealand owned company that’s also constantly evolving and driving towards a brighter future in the realms of energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly technology, with the aim of finding cost-effective solutions to the problems of tomorrow.
