Wireless networks of these 1,000x stronger signal wearable devices have applications in health monitoring, medical interventions, and human-machine interfaces (HMIs).
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have invented a new way for wearable devices to interconnect. They incorporated conductive textiles into clothing to dynamically connect several wearable devices at once. This wireless body sensor network allows devices to transmit data with 1,000x stronger signal than conventional technologies, meaning the battery life of all devices is dramatically improved. Wireless networks of these wearable devices on a body have future applications in health monitoring, medical devices, and human–machine interfaces.
