Researchers say their soft, flexible photodetectors could enhance the utility of medical wearable sensors and implantable devices, among other applications.

A new algorithm could one day notify smartwatch wearers of stress, capturing events such as air travel, extended exercise, and illness—including COVID-19.

While individual temperature checks have become common during the pandemic, a new device could quickly and efficiently detect fever in groups of people.

Noninvasive glucose monitoring devices aren't currently commercially available in the US, but a new wearable device may change that.

3D-printed "biosymbiotic" wearable devices that are custom fit to the user's body can collect data that wrist-mounted sensors can't, researchers say.

Conductive nanotube thread woven into fabric turns regular apparel into "smart clothing" that monitors your heart.

Researchers have created a "gene switch" that the green light from regular smartwatches could flip to help control diabetes.

A type of fabric typically used for hiking gear could potentially lead to wearable electronics that successfully cool both the device and the wearer's skin.

Researchers have figured out how to harvest energy from radio waves to power wearable devices. "We are trying to provide additional, consistent energy."

A cheap and easy method can turn your run-of-the mill headphones into a sensor that plugs into a smartphone to monitor heart rate and do other stuff, too.
