▼ Wearable computing is one of the fastest growing technologies today. Smartwatches are poised that it can take over more than half of the
wearable devices market in the near future. Smartwatch screen size is a limiting factor for its growth, as it restricts incorporating special touch features. On the other hand,
wearable devices have some unique features, like reliable user interaction and hands-free operations. This thesis proposes a new computer mouse for smart watches or for hand pad which utilizes touchscreen sensor and microcontroller to detect and operate the stylus movement. The communication between the smart watch and the computer is done by using Bluetooth
technology. This device is computationally intensive and inexpensive when compared to other existing mouse designs. It is compatible with android phones, laptops, and computers.

▼ This narrative study responds to a paper and statement by Yang (2016:256) who states that "despite the positive prospects and functionality of
wearable devices, little research has been done on user acceptance and behaviours concerning them". This study made use of Engeström's second generation Activity theory (1983) to examine how
wearable fitness devices influence and support a number of users' behaviour by attempting to uncover the underlying user affordances and patterns of behaviour that emerge when people interact with
wearable fitness devices. Data was collected in the form of the content analysis that identified the hot areas of discussion in documents in the field. The second part of the case study was conducted through qualitative interviews with eight participants.. In addition, through emergent research data was coded and modified to best describe participant responses. All participants in this study were users' of
wearable fitness devices which were identified via peers, referral and convenient target sampling. The snowballing sampling technique was also deployed to engage with willing participants. In addressing my research objective I have identified four user personas in relation to
wearable fitness device usage. I also present some of the tensions and contradictions that users experience when engaging within their various individual
wearable fitness device activity systems. My primary data analyses also identified seven themes which emerged from the obtained results, these include adoption, lifestyle management, a?ordances, self-reflection, community/normative influences, motivations/self-ecacy and goal setting and incentive.

▼ Os produtos vestíveis que incorporam tecnologia eletrônica, sejam roupas ou dispositivos, configuram um paradigma de interação emergente sob a ótica da Interação Humano-Computador. Por apresentar características particulares e cenários de uso variados, o desenvolvimento de tecnologias vestíveis exige uma abordagem centrada no usuário e uma equipe multidisciplinar. A presente pesquisa investiga os processos de prototipagem desses produtos sob a perspectiva do designer e suas práticas, e tem como objetivo a sistematização desses processos quanto ao envolvimento do usuário no projeto para instauração de princípios de design relevantes ao campo. Para tanto, a revisão de literatura levanta conhecimentos referentes aos princípios de design relevantes ao contexto das tecnologias vestíveis, prototipagem e envolvimento do usuário nos processos de projeto. A pesquisa se desenvolve por meio de entrevistas com designers e desenvolvedores de empresas com foco
em tecnologias vestíveis, além de estágio em um laboratório de prototipagem e desenvolvimento de vestíveis. Assim, espera-se caracterizar e sistematizar os processos de prototipagem, sobretudo quanto ao estudo de determinados princípios de design e níveis de envolvimento do usuário no projeto.
Wearable products, such as apparel or devices, that incorporate electronic technologies are seen in the human-computer interaction field as an emerging interaction paradigm. Due to its unique features and diverse user contexts, the development of such products requires a user centered approach in a multidisciplinary team. The present paper investigates the prototyping processes employed in wearable technology product development through the designer’s practice perspective. This research project aims to systematize these processes regarding the user involvement in the design process to establish principles that are proper to wearable technology applications. To do so, a literature review was
conducted in order to comprehend the design principles that are relevant to the wearable technology context; as well as the employment of prototypes and the user involvement in the design process. The research is developed through interviews in companies that focus on developing interactive wearable products, as well as observing the activities of a wearable prototyping research lab. It is expected to be able to characterize and systematize the prototyping processes, especially regarding the understanding of certain design principles and user involvement.

▼ Esta pesquisa busca delinear o contexto histórico e teórico sobre as tecnologias vestíveis de moda, enfatizando suas criações por meio da plataforma Arduino em mídia digital. Priorizam-se as possíveis relações com a reconfiguração dos espaços urbanos devidos à coexistência física dos lugares com o recente território informacional. Abrange-se, também, uma perspectiva sobre a relação corpo e tecnologia, na qual este último foi, e ainda é, essencial na gestão dos indivíduos nas grandes cidades. Por meio deste trabalho, acredita-se tanto na possibilidade de fomentar uma nova área de saber de moda quanto na reflexão de uma nova imagem de subjetividade que considere, simetricamente, a atuação de humanos e não-humanos, assim como as instâncias físicas e virtuais
This research aims to delineate the historical and theoretical context about fashionable wearable technology, emphasizing their creations through the Arduino platform in digital media.
Possible relations with the reconfiguration of urban spaces due to physical coexistence of the places with the recent informational territory are given priority. It covers is also a perspective on the relationship body and technology, in which the latter was and still is essential in the management of individuals in large cities. Through this work, it is believed either the possibility of fostering a new area of knowledge of fashion, as the reflection of a new image of subjectivity to consider symmetrically the performance of humans and non-humans, as well as the physical and virtual instances

▼ The decreasing cost of chip manufacturing has greatly increased their distribution and availability such that sensors have become embedded in virtually all physical objects and are able to send and receive data – giving rise to the Internet of Things (IoT). These embedded sensors are typically endowed with intelligent algorithms to transform information into real-time actionable insights. Recently, humans have taken on a larger role in the information-to-action path with the emergence of human-centric sensing. This has made it possible to observe various processes and infer information in complex personal and social spaces that may not be possible to obtain otherwise. However, a caveat of human-centric sensing is the high cost associated with high precision systems.
In this dissertation, we present two low cost and high performing end-to-end solutions for human-centric sensing of physiological phenomena. Additionally, we present a post-hoc data-driven sensor synchronization framework that exploits independent, omni-present information in the data to synchronize multiple sensors. We first propose XTREMIS – a low-cost and portable ECG/EMG/EEG platform with a small form factor that has a sample rate comparable to research-grade EMG machines. We evaluate XTREMIS on a signal level as well as utilize it in tandem with a Gaussian Mixture Hidden Markov Model to detect finger movements in a rapid, fine-grained activity – typing on a keyboard. Experiments show that not only does XTREMIS functionally outperforms current wearable technologies, its signal quality is high enough to achieve classification accuracy similar to research-grade EMG machines, making it a suitable platform for further research. We then present SiCILIA – a platform that extracts physical and personal variables of a user's thermal environment to infer their clothing insulation. An individual's thermal sensation is directly correlated with the amount of clothing they are wearing. Indeed, a person's thermal comfort is crucial to their productivity and physical wellness, and is directly correlated with morale. Therefore it becomes important to be aware of actions such as adding or removing clothing as they are indicators of current thermal sensation. The proposed inference algorithm builds upon theories of body heat transfer, and is corroborated by empirical data. SiCILIA was tested in a vehicle with a passenger-controlled HVAC system. Experimental results show that the algorithm is capable of accurately predicting an occupant's thermal insulation with a low mean prediction error. In the third part of the thesis we present CRONOS – a sensor data synchronization framework that takes advantage of events observed by two or more sensors to synchronize their internal clocks using only their data streams. Experimental results on pairwise and multi-sensor synchronization show a significant drift improvement for total drift and a very low mean absolute synchronization error for multi-sensor synchronization.

▼ Within the traditional patriarchal ideology in China, feminism is gradually being accepted by the Chinese, especially Chinese women, and has brought benefits to women’s liberation today. However, inequality between men and women still exists. There is growing popularity among Chinese women artists to use their artistic status as their weapon to actively and effectively communicate the ideologies of feminism. However, their expression of feminism still mostly manifests through traditional artistic mediums. My research focuses on how
wearable technology can depict and criticize gender inequality in Chinese marriage, and promote feminism. The garment design development is based on the results of a study I conducted about the perception of marriage equality in China, which revealed several areas of inequality in marriage. The final garment is designed for presentation, where movement and audience interaction are considered to enhance the opportunities of
wearable technology to best communicate aspects of marriage inequality in China. My design research realises how ideologies of feminism, specifically marriage equality in China, might be advocated for through the design of contemporary garments and
wearable technology.

▼ Natural,
wearable game controllers explores how people interact with games and their potential uses. Since the early days of personal computing video games have been used for more than just fun. Such uses include exploration education, simulation of real world environments and the study of human thought processes (Wolf, 2008). As well as video games being used in a wide variety of settings, there has also been considerable variation in the way we interact with them - from basic mouse and keyboard interaction to the introduction of non-traditional gaming systems such the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect. These different inputs can be fall within a spectrum of abstract and natural game controllers. This thesis looks at the difference between the two and applies this to the creation of a natural
wearable game controller.
The aim of this thesis was to create a customised human-computer interface (HCI) input device, using a reliable piece of hardware with accompanying software a user could interact with. Through design experiments a
wearable game controller was created in the form of a wrap band. Once the wrap band was developed the next step was to see how it could be used as a game controller. Design experiments were conducted, focusing on integration with a pre-existing game, using it as an exercise assessment tool and developing a specific game which could be used for rehabilitation.The area of rehabilitation gaming is broad so this thesis focuses on Weight Bearing Asymmetry (WBA). This is a condition where a person does not evenly distribute their weight between their feet.
This thesis explores a range of hardware and software design experiments to see how
wearable technology can be used to create a new way of interacting with video games. It looks at the benefits of using
wearable technology and gaming for rehabilitation, it’s limitations and future applications of this
technology. The thesis concludes that natural
wearable game controllers do have potential real world application in both gaming and rehabilitation.

▼ Recent advances in
technology are reshaping and enhancing the role of the industrial designer. While industrial designers are already trained to be experts in process and possess a wide range of skills, there must be a higher level of fusion between design, science, and
technology than ever before. This paradigm presents an opportunity in the emerging field of
wearable technology; industrial design, engineering and computer science would be an optimal collaboration for the inevitable increase in mixes of disciplines to address all aspects of a product and its development.
By investigating products from companies such as Nike and Adidas, and also by exploring themes of personal augmentation in science fiction, this thesis will explore the conceptualization of a soft,
wearable garment system for runners that utilizes developing advancements in
technology, apparel and graphical user interface.

▼ This project is an initiative of the Department of Surgery in Maasstad Ziekenhuis. In the department, two types of patients undergo abdominal surgery: 1) mobile obese patients and, 2) patients with cancer. These types of patients need personal contact and guidance, especially patients with cancer. However, nurses are overwhelmed with work and utilize a great amount of their time to manually measure the vital signs of patients three times a day. These vital signs are heart rate, blood oxygen level, respiration rate, tympanic temperature, and blood pressure. The current method of measuring vital signs is highly inefficient and prone to error. Additionally, there is also a lack of an alarming system that can notify nurses when patients’ health condition deteriorates. Due to this, patient deterioration cannot be detected in time and complications cannot be avoided. When manual measurement of vital signs is digitalized, patients can be continuously monitored. Due to this, small changes in the patient’s health condition can be detected and nurses can intervene immediately. Current wearable devices in the market do not meet the needs and wishes of the user group. Therefore, the initial goal was to design a wearable device that is able to continuously and noninvasively measure vital signs of patients, taking into account the level of comfort for patients and level of user-friendliness for nurses. After extensive research, conceptualization, and testing, one final proposal is presented: Omnivisi Earable, a compact and lightweight wearable device that can measure all aforementioned vital signs in a continuous and non-invasive way. Due to its small form, it does not limit patients from performing their daily activities. It is also user-friendly for nurses due to the lack of wires and extra modules. This makes it easy for nurses to attach the product on the patient's body.

▼ It is critical to promote social interaction and development in people with Autism. The deficit in social relationship building, including communication, may lead to decreased independent living or even severe mental health problems. Using eye contact is an important nonverbal communication behavior that most of us use automatically in social interactions. However, making eye contact with others can be demanding for people with Autism - adults as well as children. Other than the lack of eye contact, sensory issues are also very common for people with Autism. Some are hypersensitive. They have difficulty filtering out background sounds to focus on one particular voice source. Consequently, it can be very hard to join a conversation or remain in it upon establishing a connection with others via eye contact or brief verbal greeting.
The thesis proposes a series of novel tools to help people with Autism handle challenges during social interaction as mentioned above by leveraging the widely-recognized
wearable technologies. The first tool can remind people with Autism to make eye contact by displaying a prompt on a head-mounted display. The second tool adopts virtual reality
technology to train children to initiate and hold the eye contact via a fading prompt. The third tool allows people with Autism to focus on a single auditory stream (a person’s voice) based on their preference of conversation participants by detecting the participants' angular position.

▼ The research project aims to study the humanization processes in
wearable devices. We refer to
wearable technology as that formed by the technological devices we wear, such as bracelets, watches or smart clothing capable of generating data from our bodies. However, there is an apparent disconnection on the part of the data reflected by the devices and those generated by the users, since in different sources we find arguments that indicate that the users do not feel identified with the data shown. This makes us wonder what is the relationship between data and body and what kind of power structures are being generated in this exchange of information.
We base the research on the Quantfied self collective to analyze the uses of the devices and the results obtained by the users. Starting from the definition of the
wearable device as a panoptic object, we study how data policies affect the construction of the device as an element of monitoring and surveillance.
Finally, we use A.Dunne’s concept of a pathological object to propose a totally different conceptualization of
wearable technology that allows us to explore new uses of
technology. This research also has a practical development where we analyze the idea of the pathological object through a series of prototypes between 2016 and 2020.

▼ The objective of this dissertation is to develop
wearable systems that allow working dogs to communicate accurately with humans. For example, a guide dog could generate alerts telling the human to either 'wait' or 'go around’ a given obstacle, which currently they cannot do. Working dogs in search and rescue could communicate critical information beyond line of sight and hearing. Finally, during a seizure, medical alert dogs could request help from nearby humans. This work describes two types of
wearable systems capable of addressing the challenges in these scenarios. The first approach relies on
wearable interfaces based on biting, tugging, and touching that working dogs can use to generate these alerts. The second approach relies on identifying and detecting gesture movements sensed from a collar-worn device that dogs can learn to perform to generate alerts.

▼ Augmented and mixed reality experiences are increasingly accessible due to advances in technology in both professional and daily settings. Technology continues to evolve into multiple different forms, including tablet experiences in the form of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) using wearable heads-up displays (HUDs). Currently, standards for best usability practices continue to evolve for MR HUD two-dimensional user interfaces (2D UI) and three-dimensional user interfaces (3D UI). Therefore, research on evolving usability practices will serve as guidance for future development of MR HUD applications.
The objective of this dissertation is to understand what gestures users intuitively make to respond to a MR environment while wearing a HUD. The Microsoft HoloLens is a wearable HUD that can be used for MR. The Microsoft HoloLens contains two core gestures that were developed to interact with holographic interfaces in MR. Although current gestures can be learned to generate successful outcomes, this dissertation provides a better understanding of which gestures are intuitive to new users of a MR environment.
To understand which gestures are intuitive to users, 74 participants without any experience with MR attempted to make gestures within a wearable MR HUD environment. The results of this study show that previous technology experience can influence gesture choice; however, gesture choice also depends on the goal of the interaction scenario. Results suggest that a greater number of programmed gestures are needed in order to best utilize all tools available in wearable HUDs in MR. Results of this dissertation suggest that five new gestures should be created, with three of these gestures serving to reflect a connection between MR interaction and current gesture-based technology. Additionally, results suggest that two new gestures should be created that reflect a connection between gestures for MR and daily movements in the physical world space.

▼ Atualmente, existe um número crescente de acessórios tecnológicos incorporados nos objetos mais comuns da nossa vida como é o exemplo de um par de óculos, um anel, ou uma camisa. Esta inovação consiste basicamente na miniaturização dos componentes tecnológicos que são adaptados/acoplados aos acessórios que usamos no dia-a-dia. Com efeito, este conceito de
Wearable Technology consiste na incorporação de componentes tecnológicos em acessórios de roupa, produtos que usamos ou em objetos que transportamos. Implica isto que a
Wearable Technology se apresenta como uma subárea da Internet of Things visto que incorpora objetos físicos com sensores e software, permitindo que esses objetos troquem dados com um servidor ou com outro dispositivo sem necessidade de intervenção humana. Adicionalmente, as
Wearable Technologies têm sido cada vez mais aplicadas na área da saúde com sucesso.
Como se tem vido a constatar, o nosso país apresenta uma falta de resposta nos seus serviços de saúde, nomeadamente nos hospitais e nos centros de saúde, face ao que diferentes atores dizem ser necessário e desejável.
Neste contexto, o principal objetivo desta dissertação é identificar o nível de utilização e as oportunidades que as
Wearable Technologies trazem para a área da saúde. Esta proposta parte principalmente destas duas evidências: (1) a quantidade de propostas já existentes no mercado para esta área de negócio e (2) o aumento do número de utentes que esperam para ser atendidos nos hospitais e centros de saúde, e que poderiam facilmente ser monitorizados a distância.
De forma a permitir atingir o objetivo proposto, a presente dissertação investiga e descreve o que já é possível fazer com esta tecnologia, com um foco especial na área da saúde. Numa segunda fase, desenvolve uma recolha de informação, ou seja, são conduzidas entrevistas a especialistas na área médica para melhor perceber a sua posição e nível de conhecimentos em relação à
Wearable Technology. Faz, ainda, parte desta fase a recolha de informação através de inquéritos on-line destinados a profissionais de saúde e à população em geral, de modo a confirmar a informação obtida nas entrevistas exploratórias.
Conclui-se, assim, que a
Wearable Technology tem um futuro junto do público em geral na área da saúde, concretamente em Portugal, e que não se trata apenas de mais um “gadget” desta geração.

▼ Advancements in soft materials and hybrid flexible electronics have enabled developments in flexible circuits and wearables. Where rigid electronics are extremely precise over small physical areas, flexible electronics have the capability to sense over large curved areas. From the onset of epidermal electronics and flexible transistors, there have been great advancements in sensing over soft curved objects, such as human skin or brain tissue.
This thesis focuses on hybrid flexible electronics to sense and stimulate over large areas. The aim of the systems presented is to provide insight into complex navigation and sensor processing systems. In addition to the design, fabrication, and characterization of each device, several important characteristics of each device are investigated: material choice, curvature limits, and device sensitivity. The first device presented in this thesis uses strain gauges to track the bending of neurosurgery navigation stylets for catheter placement. The strain gauge fabrication and characterization is presented. Adhesive testing, stylet bending modeling, and noise techniques are also discussed as they were found to be critical components of the system. The device's limit of detection is 1 mm tip displacement. The purpose of the second set of devices presented is to gain object information from curved or edged robotic structures. Three sensing modes were explored: piezoelectric, strain, and capacitive. The piezoelectric sensor was founded to have a 6.7 times increase in sensitivity when an open-cell foam compliant layer is used. The strain sensor was found to have a gauge factor of 2.83 on a silicone layer and 1.5 on a polymer layer. The combination of the piezoelectric and strain sensing modes is presented. The capacitive sensor is able to detect object shape using inverse problem mathematical techniques. The third device and system presented is a flexible electrode array for stimulating the electroreceptors of electric fish. The spatial and temporal control of a conformal stimulation array enables the decoding of motor signals in the brain. The array fabrication and system development is presented. Surface modification of the electrode array successfully altered the surface energy of the array to match that of the fish for the optimal array-fish interface.
In summary, the development and integration of these flexible electronic devices has been achieved. It was found that the interface between the flexible electronic devices and binding objects is critical to device sensitivity and reliability.

▼ nuSense is the result of a degree work on master level at Umeå Institute of Design exploring why wearable technology oftentimes tread a rather narrow path, with many different companies releasing essentially the same product with a new shell, and innovation being slow. Through research, interviews and user research, hardware prototyping and testing it became clear that developing for wearable technology is a very complicated task, for many reasons. Being able to build quick exploratory prototypes was nigh impossible if you do not have a grasp of hardware developing platforms and programming. Further, those outside the industry who just want to explore wearable technology lack a platform to do so easily, aside from buying ready-made solutions made to do one single prepackaged thing. Based on this a concept was developed to provide a platform to explore wearable technology, through modular building-blocks and an easy to grasp interface.

▼ Sports injury is common in college as huge medical expenses were spent on sport related injuries among youth each year. Existing technology for sports and fitness have been rapidly developing which allow people to monitor their biometric information through modern sensing systems including heart rate and motion sensors. Professional sports teams were using high-end motion capture systems, such as Xsens, Catapult and Qualisys, to track and analyze athletes’ performance during training and competitions. However, there was no consumer-level product which can allow general users to obtain their motion data during sports. Therefore, there is a need of developing an affordable system utilizing motion sensing technology to facilitate performance training and rehabilitation for college sports. In this thesis, a hardware and software system was built to monitor the athletes during training and rehabilitation. The system could enable features such as detecting incorrect movement, preventing from overtraining, remote guided physiotherapy, etc., which aims at reducing the injury rate and improve their performance. Fit-Kick, a sensor-embedded ankle sleeve, was designed to track the motion of the ankle. It consists of two inertial sensors to capture the movement of the shin and foot using kinematic computation. Based on the high-level requirement discussed, three prototypes with iterating mechanical designs were built and tested, using 3D printing and Room Temperature Vulcanization (RTV) silicone casting. Components were selected and Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) were fabricated. With manufacturing considerations, several industrial design drafts were discussed and an industrial prototype was produced to validate the product concept. An Android application was developed to work with the latest Fit-Kick prototype, delivering features for running and guided physiotherapy.

▼ Advancements in
wearable computing have
minimized the level of invasion necessary for digital sensors to
passively collect aspects of one’s daily life. The fine grained
physiological and behavioral measurements these devices provide
serve as invaluable tools for the fields of health and wellness.
Furthermore, these devices provide a novel and personal manner for
individuals to interact with their health data. With the field of
wearable technology still largely in its infancy, this relationship
is limited to these devices serving only as digital mirrors of
one’s behaviors: providing daily step counts and sleep duration,
yet leaving the user to determine what these numbers mean for their
health. It is here that this dissertation aims to advance this
relationship by utilizing the data streams generated by these
devices to infer users health through their health behaviors. This
is accomplished by transforming these streams to extend the range
of behaviors they capture, measuring changes in behaviors and
physiology overtime, and addressing the challenges of use and
abandonment of these devices. By successfully informing users of
their health through their health behaviors,
wearable devices will
serve as a pervasive and convenient platform for engaging with
personal health.

▼ Studies have found significant impact of domain, or context-of-use, on the social acceptance of wearable technology (Bodine & Gemperle, 2003; Herath et al., 2011; Van Heek, Schaar, Trevisan, Bosowski, & Ziefle, 2014). Therefore, factors which influence domain perceptions are relevant to wearables research. Correspondingly, anecdotal evidence has pointed to the influence of color (e.g. color associations) on wearable technology domain perceptions (Häkkilä, Vahabpour, Colley, Väyrynen, & Koskela, 2015; Starner, Rhodes, Weaver, & Pentland, 1999), yet thorough investigation and empirical evidence of these findings is lacking in the literature. For these reasons, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of color and body-worn form on wearable technology domain and function observations. This study used a mixed methods approach to assess the perceived domains of different colored wearable technology products by third party (limited information) observers. Six different products (three arm-worn and three face/head worn) were pilot tested, ultimately leading to the presentation of an armband, eyewear, and headband product in ten different colors. One of each product was randomly selected and presented to 1,413 (131 to 151 per product) non-colorblind Millennial age Mechanical Turk Workers, 522 of which also answered additional, open-ended questions to probe their selection answers. Participants were asked to assess the different colored stimuli and select the domain(s) in which, in their opinion, the product most likely belonged. T-tests were used to compare the counts of domain selections. Open-ended questions asked participants to first name what they believed the device to be and do, then describe if and why the product was recognized, and finally, to comment on the recognizability of the term wearable technology and its relationship to the presented stimuli. The clearest and most dominant results were found in the observed influence of product form and body location on perceived domain: Within each product (across colors), there were consistently observed product domain selections, and in open-ended responses there were consistently referenced products and guessed functions. Consistent domain selections regardless of color were seen in both highly recognized products (e.g. armband) and unrecognized products (e.g. headband). Conjointly, there were similar domain selections between comparable product types (e.g. Gaming & Entertainment in smart glasses and in an HMD) and between comparable body locations (e.g. Health & Wellness in arm-worn products). Other information offered by participants in the product discernment process were possible users and use-case scenarios. This study did not find strong, conclusive results that color significantly altered domain perceptions of unidentified products. Certain trends indicated that color had some influence in domain selection. For example, Medical ratings were consistently high when the product color was beige—however, results and count were not often…

▼ Many occupations involve frequent and repetitive tasks that require employees to perform non-neutral postures over a long period of time. Assembly workers in particular usually have only one task, during which they are repeating the same posture over and over again. Frequent awkward postures can cause lower back disorders such as chronic pain and back injury (Bernard, 1997), which are the number one cause of loss of work (“Ergonomics Checklist,”). There is an opportunity to quantify this behavior and alert employers and employees of improper and dangerous posture. Current solutions are environmental, inconsistent, or not detailed enough. The objective of this project was to design, fabricate, and evaluate a comfortable
wearable device to accurately and reliably detect prolonged and repeated postures of assembly workers. This paper covers the design, testing methods, and evaluation of the data gathered in order to form the groundwork for a
wearable posture monitoring system.

▼ The occurrence of total knee replacements is increasing in the United States for persons over the age of 45 because they are inexpensive and a very effective method for treating degenerative joint diseases. Rehabilitation requires regular access to a wide variety of resources and personnel and, as the demand for post-operative, rehabilitative care increases, the ability to marginally relieve the healthcare system by offloading resources to the patient is necessary. Tools to enable tracking a patient’s rehabilitative progress at home are an essential method to help unload the healthcare system. The purpose of this project is to design and develop a
wearable home rehabilitation device for knee replacement. This thesis utilizes design ethnography tools such as expert interviews, rehabilitation observation, a participatory design workshop, iterative development, and an idea feedback study. Leveraging advancements in
technology and the field of eTextiles, this study investigates the product feasibility and acceptance of discreet on-body sensors to provide a product that enables patients to better perform rehabilitation on their own, but also to allow for a feedback loop for physicians and therapists to view patient progress.

▼ In collaboration with Cardioline Spa, this graduation project presents the development of a discreet device to monitor atrial fibrillation among elderly people. By means of user research and contest analysis, the project is aims at delivering a new product-system device for the company, for Healthcare institutions and for private patients. The project is characterized by three main phases: the first one is about the analysis of the holter monitor world ; the second is related to synthesizing the research results into one concept; and the third one focuses on validating and test the concept proposed. According to the three pillar of Industrial design engineering the research was divided into the three macro areas of: People, Business and
Technology. The people linked with the holter monitor system investigated during several activities including Interviews were 14 elderly patients, one General practitioner, one cardiologist and two nurses. Furthermore, to dive deeper into the experience I underwent a 24 hour holter monitor experience. The magnitude of the cardio healthcare business side was explored by the analysis of the main Healthcare trends. In addition, special attention was given to Cardioline’s past innovations and some guidelines for future innovations were outlined. The
technology side was also investigated. The Scope of the
technology analysis was to understand the current state of the art of ECG
technology and its related evolution over the years. There was a special focus on the transition from the current situation to the mobile health and to why biosensors are preferred to the standard holter monitor. To close the technological part, a perceptual map was made in order to compare the Cardioline product with its competitors. The perceptual map was also used to decide on the transition from the current product to the future product. All the data collected during the analysis phase was collected in a list of requirements composed of demands (hard requirements) and wishes (soft requirements). Afterwards a brainstorm session was run taking into account some of the main problem revealed. After several iterations, the brainstorm results were synthesized into three concepts which were presented during the midterm presentation. Feedback was provided by chair, by mentor and by the Company mentor. Suggestions were used to determined the final user scenario, the final system layout and the final concept. The final concept consisted of a
wearable device which records and transmits ECG signal to the smart phone. The smart phone collects and transmits data to the cloud server where the user and Doctor, if authorized, can have access. With a special focus on the setting up phase, a test was performed. The scope of the test was to check if specific concept features were correctly driving the user towards the hypothesised behaviour. The test revealed good and improvable aspects of the product-system designed. The improvable aspects were used to refine the final concepts. Finally, together with Cardioline…

▼ This thesis presents three generations of low-power fall detectors based on triaxial accelerometry and barometric pressure signals. The proposed fall detectors take the form of a pendant attached to a neck lanyard. Each generation incorporates multiple power-conserving technologies to achieve a long battery life, whilst remaining high fall detection accuracy. The prototypes devices were evaluated systematically using the data collected in several laboratory-based and free-living trials. The battery lives of the proposed fall detectors were estimated using the data from a series of benchtop electrical tests and free-living trials. The first generation of fall detector (Neon 1) achieved 93.0 % sensitivity and 87.3 % specificity, a false alarm rate of 0.023 false alarms/hour and a battery life of 664.9 days with a 3.7 V, 450 mAh battery. The second generation of fall detector was developed to overcome the limitations of Neon 1. Neon 2 with three variants of the fall detection algorithm, each employed a different pressure signal processing method (Method 1, Method 2, and Method 3) were investigated using the data collected from the human trials involving more volunteers than those in the development of Neon 1. Method 1, which mimicked the Neon 1, achieved a sensitivity of 91.5% and a specificity of 96.5%, a false alarm rate of 0.104 alarms/hour, and a battery life of 475 days with a 3.7 V, 450 mAh battery. Method 2 and Method 3 used a differential moving average filter and a Kalman filter for pressure signal processing, respectively. Method 2 achieved a sensitivity of 91.8% and a specificity of 95.2%, a false alarm rate of 0.035 alarms/hour, and a battery life of 1437 days with a 3.7 V, 450 mAh battery. Method 3 achieved a sensitivity of 91.9% and a specificity of 95.5%, a false alarm rate of 0.064 alarms/hour, and a battery life of 1428 days with a 3.7 V, 450 mAh battery. The Neon 2 was upgraded to the third generation of fall detector (Neon 2+) by implementing a smart triggering method of barometer. Method 3 based on a Kalman filter was chosen as the pressure signal processing method for the Neon 2+ because its responsiveness. The thresholds in the algorithm used in the Neon 2+ were trained with a novel optimisation method, which provided a set of compromise solutions to balance sensitivity and false alarm rate. According to the optimisation results, the Neon 2+ achieved a minimum false alarm rate of 0.058 alarms/hour with a sensitivity of 91.5%. The maximum sensitivity of the Neon 2+ was 94.5 % while the false alarm rate would increase to 0.603 alarms/hour. The estimated battery life for the Neon 2+ is 1135 days with a 3.7 V, 450 mAh battery.

▼ The prevalence of smart devices and
wearable computers is steadily increasing (IDC,
2014a; 2014b). Despite this, there is little research on the interaction of these devices and cognitive processes such as attention, perception, and working memory. In particular, head-mounted computers known as smart eyewear have the potential to both greatly improve and greatly harm their users’ cognitive processes by taking on difficult tasks or presenting distracting information, respectively. We conducted three experiments that investigate these potential interactions by simulating smart eyewear in a simple 3D virtual environment. Our primary focus was determining if presenting different types of information with different timing schedules would improve or harm participants’ performance during visual search and basic navigation tasks. We found that facilitating information often improved performance in both tasks, distracting information often harmed performance, and mixed information resulted in differing effects across tasks. Presentation timing also mediated these effects in visual search tasks, but did not affect navigation tasks. These findings provide a foundation for research into the manners in which
wearable computers can affect the way humans process information in various situations.

▼ [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The focus of this dissertation is
wearable energy-harvesting mircro devices. They are designed to harvest energy from the surrounding environment to supply power on the go for small electronic devices and sensors. We used low-cost and scalable fabrication methods that make them appropriate for mass production processes. There are four devices presented in this manuscript: the paper based ZnO nanogenerator using contact electrification and piezoelectric effects, the Teflon coated thread-shaped contact electrification fiber, the thread-shaped ZnO nanorod piezoelectric body sensor, and the silver nanowire transparent electrode for ZnO/TiO2 core-shell nanoparticle dye-sensitized solar cell. The demand of
wearable electronic sensors for health monitoring has been increasing in recent years. However, the primary energy sources for these devices are still batteries that need to be replaced or recharged frequently. These batteries are also bulky and not easily incorporated into a garment. The devices presented in this manuscript are our efforts to address the problem of providing continuous power for
wearable devices.

▼ The digital age has given rise to an explosion of ambient and
wearable devices facilitating the collection of ecologically valid movement data. Many equine researchers have highlighted the capability of
wearable technology to improve the reliability and validity of objective equine gait analysis, particularly with respect to lameness assessment. This thesis leverages the learning accrued from the integration of
technology into healthcare and athletic performance management in the applied human field, to understand how best to progress the developing field of objective equine monitoring and movement analysis. The aim of the thesis was to explore the translational research space by a) focusing on the stakeholders who would potentially be the end-users of such technologies, and b) using
wearable technology to collect equine movement data where it would ultimately be used i.e. in the applied setting. A bilateral lameness model was employed as the use case for exploring the potential of behaviour, locomotor and postural sway data - derived from video and a single accelerometer - to provide meaningful information on inflammation and recovery. Research presented outlines that expert equine stakeholders perceived that current technological offerings did not exceed their value threshold in providing additional equine health and performance insights. Additionally, it was evident from chapters Five, Six and Eight that variability of movement as a discriminator between normal and abnormal joint inflammation merits further attention. Behaviour switching, variability of acceleration during locomotion and amplitude of postural sway were shown to be statistically different in inflamed versus normal states. This project demonstrated the feasibility of harvesting a variety of meaningful movement parameters using a single accelerometer in the applied field. Future work should focus on knowledge exchange activities that could enrich the development of fit-for-purpose technologies that can add value to existing equine management practices.

▼ TThis project started out as a quest to find a meaningful application for the electroluminescent material: a phenomenom where a plane of phosphor is lit up when an alternating current is run through it. The material has several unique properties which make it perfect for application on smart wearables:It emits light, it is paper thin, it is flexible, it allows for an almost unlimited form freedom and lastly, it can be printed on a lot of different materials, including fabric. These properties can not be found in other forms of light, which gives the electroluminescent material competitive advantages in the field of smart clothing. One aspect of life often forgotten is physical activity. In busy periods, it is hard for people to maintain a rhythm. Yet it is this rhythm that can help with maintaining a healthy physical lifestyle. What if our clothing would help us remain active? Not by demanding even more of us, but just by keeping us up to date with ourselves, helping us gain awareness on our movements and connecting us again with our bodies. Well, meet Awareable.This smart system makes the user aware of their daily physical activity. The progress of a daily set goal is reflected on their wearable; the further the progress, the more electroluminescent sections will light up and the more appealing the garment becomes. This constant reflection enhances awareness which eventually leads to the wanted behaviour change of being more active.

▼ Previous studies showing the shortfalls of Wearable Technology demonstrate the lack of attention to aesthetics and the absence of an approach that positions the user importantly in the design process (Co 2000, Orth 2001, Boehner et al 2005, Dunne et al 2005, Waitier 2003, Viseu 2005). This thesis attempts to tackle this problem by understanding the design process in Wearable Technology. It explores the field of design thinking from the designer’s perspective specifically in Wearable Technology, where interdisciplinary discourse integrating fashion, human-computer interaction, fine arts and the digital media culture merge and are intertwined.
Existing and related design theories of Wearable Technology have allowed extraction of design attributes of Wearable Technology that is holistic and flexible. These design attributes were then reflected on in semi-structured interviews involving designers who have experienced designing Wearable Technology. The resulting phenomenological analyses from the transcripts were then compared to the offered design attributes to further understand how these design attributes behave in the design process of Wearable Technology.
The research findings in this thesis offer a new conceptualization strategy for Wearable Technology designers that includes a set of design attributes and their characteristics in design process which are beneficial in understanding the design process itself. This conceptualization strategy and its application to Wearable Technology design render the possibility for designers to understand the user progressively during the design process.

In view of the centrality of relationships between communication, consumption and technology in
contemporaneity, the present research project examines certain digital devices which potentially hybridize to the human body and lie in the wearable technology category. More specifically, we discuss new types of human/non-human intertwining articulated by this category, understood from a sociocultural point of view. When dealing with wearable technologies, we discuss how the orchestration of various socio-technical objects is reconfiguring daily life and generating new possibilities to think the materiality of communications and the rhetorics of consumption. This study does not attain to a specific device. We seek to think, in a broader fashion, different examples of integration between humans and non-humans, considering, among other aspects, how this type of technology can serve strategically to enhance relationships between brand/companies and their consumers. Methodologically, this thesis activates various research procedures, such as empirical research of qualitative approach,
interviews with key informants from companies related to the technological area of Brazil (Movimento Makers, PontoMobi, Nike, ESPM, GFK International etc), technology/media/communications researchers from foreign universities (Bratislava Pan-European University, Budapest Faculty of Engineering e Klagenfurt AlpenAdria-Universität), interviews with distinct users of wearable devices and bibliographic research, the latter supported by representative authors of the field of communication, consumption, media and technology, such as Alex Primo, André Lemos, Bernard Stiegler, Bruno Latour, Danah Boyd, Gilbert Simondon, Luisa Paraguai, Roberta Sassatelli, Suely Fragoso, Tommaso Venturini, among others. The methodology emphasizes the Cartography of Controversies, a model which derives from the Actor-Network Theory, initially proposed by Bruno Latour. In this doctoral thesis, we seek to identify different connections between communication, consumption and technological aspects.
