As wearable devices become more ingrained in our daily lives, traditional communication networks primarily designed for human being-oriented applications are facing tremendous challenges. The upcoming 5G wireless system aims to support unprecedented high capacity, low latency, and massive connectivity. In this article, we evaluate key challenges in wearable communications. A cloud/edge communic...

This paper introduces a wearable computer as a wearable personal station. We propose and implement wristwatch-style wearable personal station and its I/O devices in this paper. Nowadays the progress in miniaturizing more powerful computer systems and the availability of various devices around wearable computing will bring this technology to the edge of a new quality. Wearable computing is start...

Abstract With the booming development of smart wearable devices, flexible multifunctional composites with high sensitivity and well health therapy have evoked great interest for next-generation healthcare electronics. However, weak biocompatibility, low breathability, narrow sensing range greatly hinder sensors. Herein, a porous, conductive MXene/Polydimethylsiloxane/Polydopamine/Polyurethane S...

In this paper we examine a wearable sonification and visualisation display that uses physical analogue visualisation and digital sonification to convey feedback about the wearer's activity and environment. Intended to bridge a gap between art aesthetics, fashionable technologies and informative physical computing, the user experience evaluation reveals the wearers' responses and understanding o...

This paper describes the design of the BubbleBadge, a public wearable device that contains characteristics associated with ubiquitous computing and wearable computers. We show how designing devices that are a mixture of the two, in some ways diametrically different approaches, is productive and creative as it challenges conventional conceptions and categorizations. Questions of intended usage a...

In the past few decades, wearable sensors and devices have evolved into central technologies that significantly impacted next-generation healthcare solutions in previous decade. It is an age of incredibly cut-throat competition, even youth. This technology Hand-free, eyephone-operated telephone technology. measures where user’s eyes are located on phone’s display employing a camera attached to ...

BACKGROUND Individuals with chronic whiplash associated disorders (WAD) present persistent pain in the absence of structural pathology. In these people, altered central pain processing and central sensitization are observed. The role of personal factors, such as gender and age, on pain processing mechanisms in chronic WAD, however, is still unclear. OBJECTIVES This study investigated possible...
