The current technology fervour over wearable technology that collects user’s intimate body data, under the pretence of medical or fitness monitoring, highlights that it is time that critical questions were raised, in a variety of ways. The ethics of corporate ownership of body data for consumerist agendas is rarely discussed beyond the fine print on these devices. More awareness and education o...

Wearable/portable biometric/physiological monitoring devices are rapidly becoming a recognized alternative in medicine, rehabilitation and sports. Developments in sensors, energy harvesting, embedded technology, smart textile, to mention a few, are driving the field to more seamless and complex solutions, sometimes part of pervasive strategies for activity monitoring. Additionally, the number o...

BACKGROUND Innovations in mobile and electronic healthcare are revolutionizing the involvement of both doctors and patients in the modern healthcare system by extending the capabilities of physiological monitoring devices. Despite significant progress within the monitoring device industry, the widespread integration of this technology into medical practice remains limited. The purpose of this r...

Committing to exercise regularly is not an easy task. Following evaluation investigate the adequacy of gamification techniques within wearable devices by analyzing the multiple aspects of gamification, wearable technologies, and the healthcare industry. Gamification is not about learning how to play a game; instead gamification emphasizes using game mechanics or elements in a non-gaming system ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is the promising non-invasive technique for brain-computer interface (BCI) for brain signal acquisition. Wearable multi-channel fNIRS devices that can provide much comport for applications and researches are commercially available in the market recently. In this study, we research possibility of the wearable multi-channel fNIRS device by evaluating ...

In this paper, we describe usability tests to evaluate a gestural joystick as a new input device. The usability of a device addresses five main issues: learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors, and satisfaction. These different measures of usability are used in an attempt to compare the gestural joystick, called ”wearable joystick”, with four different input devices. This paper reviews th...

This paper describes the design of the BubbleBadge, a public wearable device that contains characteristics associated with ubiquitous computing and wearable computers. We show how designing devices that are a mixture of the two, in some ways diametrically different approaches, is productive and creative as it challenges conventional conceptions and categorizations. Questions of intended usage a...
