Wearable sensors for Parkinson's can improve with machine learning, data from healthy adults

Low-cost, wearable sensors could increase access to care for patients with Parkinson’s disease. New machine-learning approaches and a baseline of data from healthy older adults improve the accuracy of the results from such sensors

An ink for 3D-printing flexible devices without mechanical joints

EPFL researchers are targeting the next generation of soft actuators and robots with an elastomer-based ink for 3D printing objects with locally changing mechanical properties, eliminating the need for cumbersome mechanical joints.

Podcast: Novel Fabrics + Robots -- Sustainable One-size-fits-all Fashion Revolution

In this episode, we talk about how a fashion company spun-off from MIT has developed the world’s first truly one-size-fits-all garment.

Programming functional fabrics

PhD student Lavender Tessmer applies computation to create textiles that behave in novel ways.

Universal Controller Could Push Robotic Prostheses, Exoskeletons Into Real-World Use

Aaron Young’s team has developed a wear-and-go approach that requires no calibration or training.

Smaller, more powerful stretchable electronics for wearables and implantables

Stanford researchers have developed soft integrated circuits that are powerful enough to drive a micro-LED screen and small enough to read thousands of sensors in a single square centimeter.

Is this the future of fashion?

Developed by the Self-Assembly Lab, the 4D Knit Dress uses several technologies to create a custom design and a custom fit, while addressing sustainability concerns.

Vibrating glove helps stroke patients recover from muscle spasms

For those with stroke, involuntary contractions of the hands and arms often follow. A simple, wearable vibrating glove may offer a more effective treatment.
