What safety wearable tech will inspire makers and professionals?

jwatson
jwatson over 8 years ago

Over the past decade, so much has been written about the limitless possibilities of Wearable Tech and how clothing, particularly in the sports apparel and safety workwear markets will revolutionise the way we live.

The debates now are mostly around integrated 'connectivity' and 'control' devices.

 

What wearable tech have you seen that will make the world a safer place?

    I haven't seen easy-to-use safety wear for people working in closed freezer rooms, in a stable's cesspit or other dangerous locations with very little oxygen. A fluorescent jacket that can measure air…

    Hi, Some of the New Zealand (and others now I think) rugby teams are using a jersey with a GPS unit mounted in a special pocket to trace acceleration and meters run etc. Just recently a university here…

    Hi Jane,

     

    I think the best use of wearable technology is health monitoring.

     

    We have the ability to monitor vital signs and detect when someone falls.

     

    It would be very easy to add panic buttons and detect screams for help.

     

    The key to the success will be a monitoring capability that can quickly move assistance to those in need.

     

    If people know there is rapid help available, then they will be more likely to buy and use the wearable technology.

     

    Otherwise it is just another toy.

    I will pass as my other commitments already take up my time.

     

    I will soon be releasing Volume 10 of my Sea War series "Il Duce Deposed" and an update to my new theory called "Reverse Engineering The Universe".

     

    So I think you can understand my decision.
