A heart rate sensor simply measures your heart rate, but the information it provides varies depending on the application.Working → Calculates exercise…

Simply put, an accelerometer measures movement itself, while a gyroscope measures rotational movement. Accelerometer → Detects walking or running an…

Washability depends on the protective design and care method. If the device has a waterproof housing or sensitive components are removable, you can ma…

A waterproof coating is essential for sweat and water resistance. A coating like Parylene or a case that’s resistant to shock and heat significantly r…

Well, first, check for flexible materials and modular design. If the sensors or circuits are embedded directly into the fabric or embedded in flexible…

These days, future-proofing design is essential. Upgrading with software updates or modular components ensures longevity. Designers stay on top of the…

Using regular fabrics often doesn’t work with the technology. For example, using conductive fibers makes it easier to connect sensors and circuits, an…

Yes, UX is key. Heavy or rigid components can make the clothing uncomfortable to wear. Sensors and functions should also be intuitive and designed to …

Well, the most important thing is the harmony between design and technology. Designers want to enhance the style of the clothing and the brand identit…

EMG (electromyography) sensors measure muscle electrical activity. They detect electrical signals generated when muscles contract and transmit these s…

Smart clothing uses ECG (electrocardiogram) and PPG (photoplethysmography) sensors. ECG sensors measure heart rate by detecting electrical signals fro…

Accelerometers and gyroscopes are used for exercise motion analysis.The accelerometer measures three-axis orientation and acceleration to track steps,…

Heart rate sensors and electrodermal activity (EDA) sensors are primarily used for heart rate and stress monitoring.Heart rate sensors use photoplethy…

Yes, when the sensor moves, the signals get mixed up, reducing accuracy. That’s why most devices use an accelerometer or gyroscope in conjunction with…

Exactly! An ECG directly measures the heart’s electrical signals, providing much more accurate heart rate information. When combined with a PPG, it ca…

That’s a good question! PPG technology for measuring blood pressure isn’t yet fully standardized. While it’s not as accurate as a cuff-type blood pres…

Yes, it’s not quite hospital-level, but the big advantage is that you can proactively detect and manage abnormalities at home. For example, blood pres…

That’s a good question! FDA- or CE-certified devices don’t just measure exercise or steps; they’re also proven to accurately measure “medical data.” F…

Yes, over time, data like HRV and brainwave patterns can be collected to identify your own stress patterns, allowing you to identify when you’re tense…

That’s totally possible. Because it’s real-time monitoring, it can alert you when your stress level spikes and even provide personalized advice, like …

While heart rate and respiration alone can give you a general idea, they’re not enough to accurately determine your stress level. EEG indicates conc…

Yeah, isn’t it amazing? It simultaneously analyzes various biosignals like heart rate variability (HRV), electroencephalography (EEG), electromyograph…

The noise sensor can check the ambient noise level, and the wind/air pressure sensor can detect weather changes and altitude. These are features that …

Yes! There are many products that include temperature/humidity sensors, UV sensors, and even light sensors, so you can check the weather, sunlight int…

Yes. The gas sensor checks for air pollutants like CO2, CO, and NOx, and the fine dust sensor can monitor PM2.5 and PM10 in real time. If the product …

Yes, breathing monitoring wearables like Spire Health Tag continuously track my breathing patterns and notify me immediately if something goes wrong. …

Yes, allergy alert wearables like Flow detect allergens in the surrounding air and alert you if they’re dangerous. They tell you when to wear a mask o…

Yes, products like the Atmotube Pro detect air pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, and VOCs in real time and send an immediate alert if the air quality is po…

Exactly! Combining these sensors allows for customized skincare solutions, real-time monitoring to prevent skin problems, and much easier skin care.

The UV sensor measures UV exposure and sends a sunburn warning, while the pH sensor checks the skin’s surface acidity to alert you to allergies or irr…
