While much of the focus on wearable visual technology has been on glasses or contact lenses that promise to augment human sight, a South Korean research team has announced a different sort of innovation: smart contact lenses that can preserve the sight and broader health of users with diabetes. According to researchers at the Pohang University of Science and Technology, the wirelessly powered wearables will be capable of diagnosing, monitoring, and delivering medicine to treat diabetic retinopathy. Given their location directly on the eyes, the lenses are made from biocompatible polymers, using tiny sensors for real-time measurement of glucose levels in tears. If the wearer is determined to need insulin, drugs encased inside the lenses can be released directly where they're needed. As predicted, health-focused wearable technologies have become a multibillion-dollar industry in recent years, with the lion's share of attention going to smart watches — a natural...

It's a weird time to be reviewing a fitness band. For a lot of people, overall fitness activity has plummeted because of stay-at-home orders and social distancing. Still, for the past week, we've been testing Fitbit's latest fitness gadget, the Charge 4. The $149.95 band is a modest update from the Charge 3, which was released in late 2018. The Charge 4 adds built-in GPS, which allows you to ditch your phone and let the band take care of mapping your run (or in our case, walk). In many ways, the Charge 4 feels like a device that Fitbit has been building toward with routine updates and upgrades for the rest of its lineup, including the Versa 2 smart watch. From software to hardware, the Charge 4 is a compelling option for someone who wants all the health details a fitness band offers, with just a dash of smart watch features. Design Included in the box with the Charge 4 are two sizes of the wristband and a charging connector. If you order the $169.95 special edition Charge 4...

Another day, another smart watch reaches its target on Kickstarter. And while the Omate Truesmart achieved nothing like Pebble's record-breaking $10.2m, indeed its target was a far more modest $100k, it does indicate the way forward for the field To be honest the Truesmart breaks little new ground in many areas. It has a 5mp camera, it has a sci-fi macho design ethos, it will run Android, it will offer GPS support (crucial for the fitness tracker market), it's nominally waterproof (again useful for the swimmers out there) and its 4GB of internal storage can be boosted to 32GB using a microSD card. So much so familiar... But what does make it stand out is that Omate says that it features a 3G chip and can be fitted with a micro-Sim card. Many of the watches currently on the market or in development rely on being paired with a smartphone for connectivity – this takes the logical step of putting the two devices into the single casing. Gartner predicts the glob...

I haven't always been a fan of the Apple Watch. I bought one as soon as it went on sale in 2015 hoping it would blow me away, but it ended up spending more time in my drawer than on my wrist. It took three more years and the addition of two key features -- LTE and the ECG app -- for me to finally start wearing it on a regular basis. And now it's earned a permanent spot on my wrist.  The 'iWatch' has arrived I first started covering the Apple Watch for CNET en Español months before it officially existed. In the summer of 2014 I was hosting a weekly Apple rumor show, and there was already talk of Apple announcing an "iWatch" in the fall. Sure enough, after presenting the iPhone 6 at the 2014 Sept. 9 event, Apple CEO Tim Cook...

The first time I experienced this, I wondered why my friend had double-booked me with the endof the world – the only explanation I could think of for why she was so obsessed with the time. Then my husband got a smart watch and suddenly my eyes were opened to the incessant beeps and flashes and vibrations I'm competing with. All because it's crucial for him to know he's got an email, or a link on LinkedIn, or he's taken 10,000 steps, or – most infuriating of all – that someone in his network, in another part of the city, has finished a bike ride. Loading Seriously? Should I be setting a personal best in something to get your attention? It's like we're at a time when human interaction now plays second, third, maybe 11th fiddle to what I think is the beginning of AI control. I hate it because it contributes to the cult of busy, busy, busy. Feeling overwhelmed? Turn the damn thing off! I hate it because it supports the false belief that we can – and should – multi-t...

NEW YORK – An Indian American scientist-led team from Stanford University has developed a disease-detecting "precision health" smart toilet that is meant to monitor users for multiple signs of illness. The toilet is fitted with technology that can detect a range of disease markers in stool and urine, including those of some cancers, such as colorectal or urologic cancers. The device could be particularly appealing to individuals who are genetically predisposed to certain conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, prostate cancer or kidney failure, and want to keep on top of their health. "Our concept dates back well over 15 years. When I'd bring it up, people would sort of laugh because it seemed like an interesting idea, but also a bit odd," said study lead author Sanjiv "Sam" Gambhir from Stanford University. With a pilot study, published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, of 21 participants now complet...

Apple is planning to make even more thorough use of biometric sensors for fitness and health-related purposes in future versions of the Apple Watch, according to new information from reputed tipster Max Weinbach and the EverythingApplePro channel on YouTube. Weinbach says that Apple is working on functionality that will leverage sensors in the wearable devices to detect the signs of stress and an oncoming anxiety attack. This could trigger software to talk the user through breathing exercises in order to mitigate the stress, and over time, the software could learn to spot the early warning signs of anxiety attacks in order to take preventive measures. According to EverythingApplePro, this information was leaked to Weinbach, though the video does not offer any further details about Weinbach's source (or sources). Weinbach's tip suggests that the functionality described is at least a couple of years away from a commercial launch, w...

(YAHOO) - If you're looking for very, very personalized data about your bathroom habits, look no further.

It uses cameras and motion sensors to identify "a range of disease markers in stool and urine," including colon cancer and prostate cancer. "When I'd bring it up, people would sort of laugh because it seemed like an interesting idea, but also a bit odd," lead researcher Sanjiv Gambhir said in a press release.

© Provided by T3 'Smart glass' brings contactless payment tech to ANY mechanical watch As much as we love traditional Swiss watches at T3, we often long for them being just that little bit smarter. Imagine being able to make contactless payments with your Rolex, for example, or tap your Omega to open the train station barrier. That dream is now a reality, thanks to payments company MuchBetter and Winwatch, a provider of Swiss watch glass. Together, they have created a 'smart' watch sapphire crystal embedded with the wireless tech needed to make contactless payments. Essentially taking the innards of your bank card and hiding them inside the sapphire crystal of a watch, the firms have created what looks like a normal, analogue watch, but with the ability to make contactless payments. The finances are handled by the MuchBetter wallet, which is topped up with funds via a smartphone app. You're then able to tap the watch against a payment termina...

I never thought I'd be a smart watch person, but here we are. Isolation is doing weird things to everyone's brains, and for me it's "become a smart watch person." Specifically, a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active person. Samsung loaned me a Galaxy Active way back in June last year. Since then, they've released the Active2, which is similar but obviously more advanced with things like a bigger screen and a more streamlined look. But whatever. I'm talking about the Active and YES this is a stale review, but it's more about how a smart watch – whatever one you like – can help heaps with isolation life. 1. I'm Way More Bored And Therefore Hyper-Interested In Myself I wanna know my resting heart rate. My active heart rate. How many steps I've taken in two hours. Everything you could literally know about yourself, I wanna know it. Why? I'm bloody bored is why. I am so bored of isolation life, that I have become self-obsessed to the nth degree. I w...

By Sonia Elks LONDON, April 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A smart toilet could offer a mini health check every time you take a seat, scientists said on Tuesday, but privacy campaigners and potential users said the idea sat uncomfortably with them. The device would identify users through an anal scan using a camera tucked under the seat before checking their waste for disease markers including early signs of cancer, said the U.S.-led team who developed the prototype. "We know it seems weird, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique," said Sanjiv Gambhir, a radiology professor at Stanford University, who led work on the project. "The smart toilet is the perfect way to harness a source of data that's typically ignored ... Everyone uses the bathroom - there's really no avoiding it - and that enhances its value as a disease-detecting device." A...
