Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable technology will revolutionise our life in the years to come. The current trend is to augment ordinary body-worn objects—e.g. watches, glasses, bracelets, and clothing—with advanced information and communication technologies such as sensors, electronics, software, connectivity and power sources. These wearable devices can monitor and assist the user in the management of his/her daily life with applications that may range from activity tracking, sport and wellness, mobile games, environmental monitoring, up to e-health.
This Special Issue is intended to report the recent advances in the multidisciplinary field of wearable technologies and the important gaps that still remain in order to obtain a massive diffusion.
Articles in this Special Issue will address topics that include: wearable sensing and bio-sensing technologies, smart textiles, smart materials, wearable and implantable microsystems, low-power and embedded circuits for data acquisition and processing, data transmission, power supply.
