Yes, that’s right. They could lead to significant changes in various fields, such as remote medical treatment, rehabilitation, improving athletic perf…

That’s right, a completely new market is opening up. Clothing companies can significantly increase the value of their products thanks to IT, and IT co…

That’s right! Clothes collect data like heart rate, movement, and location. They analyze this data to provide personalized health management, exercise…

Yes, that’s right! It’s not something you wear separately like a smartwatch. Instead, the clothing itself contains sensors and IT technology. So, you …

Yes, “sensor fusion” technology, which uses multiple sensors simultaneously, will advance further, and flexible sensors that fit closely to the skin a…

That’s right! Accelerometers measure changes in movement speed, and gyroscopes measure rotational motion. When used together, they can accurately de…

Temperature sensors are used to measure skin temperature or body temperature. They monitor body temperature changes and heat levels during exercise, h…

That’s a good question! Optical sensors (PPG) use light to measure changes in blood volume, determining things like heart rate and oxygen saturation. …

Yes, the Apple Watch uses multi-wavelength LEDs and motion compensation algorithms, while the Fitbit utilizes a sweat- and water-resistant design and …

Optical sensors are affected by skin tone due to differences in light absorption, but they use light of multiple wavelengths and apply a skin tone-spe…

Movement can cause the sensor to briefly detach from the skin or cause data to fluctuate. Accelerometers and gyroscopes detect movement, and AI compen…

Yes, sweat can interfere with sensor signals, so we apply a sweat-repellent coating to the sensor surface or use algorithms to detect and filter out s…

Yes, it makes a huge difference, especially when you need to monitor pressure distribution. Using just one sensor can miss a lot of details, but us…

It’s possible. The signals sent by sensors are noisy and subtle changes can be obscured. Incorporating a high-resolution ADC, filtering, and algori…

With just one layer, it only responds well to a specific pressure range, but with multiple layers, each layer covers a different range. For example…

There’s quite a difference. Carbon nanotubes and graphene have excellent conductivity and large surface areas, so they react immediately to small p…

Not necessarily. FSRs are sufficient for motion tracking and simple touch recognition, but for precise pressure measurement or long-term monitoring…

Yes, the principles are similar. Both change resistance when subjected to force or pressure, but piezoresistive sensors are typically housed in a fixe…

Pretty much. If it feels good to wear and doesn’t move around, you get both comfort and accurate data.

Exactly, it’s called motion artifacts. To fix that, they use smart algorithms or even combine sensors—like pairing an accelerometer with a heart rate …

Yeah, they can. Hands and fingers are super sensitive and always moving, so if the sensor’s bulky or stiff, you’ll feel it pretty quick. That’s why de…

Honestly, they’re a trade-off. You get style and decent tracking, but if you’re after hardcore performance data, a sports-focused watch will beat them…

Garmin’s solid for outdoor sports, but Polar and Coros are also great for runners—lightweight, long battery life, and reliable tracking. It really …

Good catch. The Oura Ring is usually worn on the finger, but they also have a wristband option for certain use cases—especially for people who pref…

I wish! No, I pulled the data from a mix of manufacturer specs, reviews, and a few I’ve tried personally. It’s more like a master reference so peop…

Definitely, personalized analysis helps a lot. The problem is, wrist devices have limited processing power. Running advanced AI locally is tough, so…

That’s because it’s not just counting steps anymore. Modern wearables track heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep patterns—often in real time. The sensor…

Exactly. Areas like the chest or thigh don’t move as much, so the signal is cleaner. The wrist is more convenient, but you trade some accuracy for …

You’d think so, but it’s trickier than that. The wrist moves around a lot, and the skin contact isn’t always stable. When you’re running and swinging …

Exactly. Think about the Lumo Run sensor — it tells you if your running form is off while you’re running. Or StretchSense smart clothing, which ana…
