Scientists from The Hamlyn Centre, Imperial College London, are presenting their latest research in wearable technology at the Royal Society’s annual Summer Science Exhibition, which officially opens to the public today.
The theme for the Hamlyn Centre’s exhibit is “smart sensing”, technologies for wearables devices.
It will include very low power ICs and sensors, ranging from optical, impedance, and micro-fluidics.
Professor Guang-Zhong Yang, director and co-founder of The Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery, Imperial College London, comments:
“Wearable sensors are transforming our understanding of health, and have the potential to revolutionise healthcare – from reactive to proactive management.”
The exhibition will also demonstrate how a body sensor network can deliver a personalised monitoring platform that is pervasive, intelligent and context-aware yet “invisible”.
“By harnessing body sensor technologies, from young people looking to improve their lifestyle to the elderly and those with chronic diseases, we can detect possible issues so that doctors and health professionals can take action before problems arise,” said Professor Yang.
This is a preview of the technologies that will be on display.
The exhibit will include the beta release of a brand new lifestyle app, ActiveMiles, which monitors personal activity and promotes behavioural change.
The app includes automatic detection and monitoring of general activity (whether running, walking, travelling), goal-setting and performance sharing with friends, GPS tracking and geolocation, and monitoring diet through barcode and image recognition.
The free app can be downloaded now
