Bill Simmons clocks in to give his thoughts on wearable devices

MIT researchers developed tiny wearable devices for cells that can snugly enfold neurons and neuronal processes without damaging the cell. These thin-film wearables, made from a soft polymer, could enable scientists to measure and modulate neurons at a subcellular level.

Adhesive formulations help with challenging assembly of wearables and medical sensors

Experts say devices like smartwatches that continually monitor your health data can also give you early warnings about medical problems before a doctor might. Correspondent David Pogue looks at how self-tracking data may one day help detect conditions like infectious diseases, type II diabetes, heart conditions or even cancer.

MIT researchers developed a chemistry-based strategy to create organic iono-electronic polymers that "learn" and could improve electronic devices that interface directly with the human body.

Correspondent David Pogue looks at how self-tracking data may one day help detect conditions like infectious diseases, type II diabetes, heart conditions or even cancer.

Certain electronics that integrate with the human body—a smartwatch that samples your sweat, for instance—work by converting the ion-based signals of biological tissue into the electron-based signals used in transistors. But the materials in these devices are often designed to maximize ion uptake while sacrificing electronic performance.

Samsung is working on 'extended reality' wearable devices that will use a new version of Android..
