Machine learning (ML) on low-power edge devices is fundamentally changing the wearables market and developing at a phenomenal pace. So far, ML has been mostly focused on image and text processing but we see huge potential in applying it to biometric data. Edge ML...

I was approached recently by Jurrie Barkel and Bas Timmer from Dutch start-up Sheltersuit to act as a mentor for their successful WEAR Sustain (Horizon2020) funded project. The Sheltersuit Foundation is a Purpose driven business based in Eschende in the far east of...

Hopes were high for a wearable tech boom in 2016. The burgeoning market was poised to capitalise on the widespread adoption of ever smarter smartphones. However, at the end of 2016, some of the industry players who had been at the forefront of both brand and device...

The world is embarking on an IoT revolution that is already reshaping the future. With the dawn of Wearables 2.0, what does the future hold? It will change forever the interaction between people, technology and the wider environment. It will ultimately cause us to...
