These tech developments have anticipated our needs to offer everyday solutions.
Stream audio from the phone to your hearing aid Audio company GN Hearing and Google have announced a new technology partnership to enable a full spectrum of direct audio streaming from Android devices to hearing aids. Users will be able to connect and monitor their hearing aids, so they can get the full advantages of their Android devices without using an intermediate device for streaming to their hearing aids. This will allow more people to call friends and enjoy music and other sound experiences.
A stylish way to deodorise your shoes (Image: panasonic.com) If a good shoe is not enough to tackle your unpleasant shoe odour, Panasonic has an interesting solution — the MS-DS100 — a shoe deodoriser equipped with ‘nanoe X’. When the product is set in shoes and switched on, nanoe X is generated and spreads from six outlets to every corner of the shoes to remove interior odours from heel to toe.
Your next wireless headphones will flaunt antenna
There is no shortage of wireless headphones on the market to hit the gym with. But the Murel Venom stands out with its HD sounding audio and a design that can withstand and stay securely in your ears during the most strenuous workouts. It features a patent pending antenna, which maintains a 200-feet open-air connection with Bluetooth 4.2.
Multilayer epidermal electronic skin Chinese researchers at the Tsinghua University have developed a graphenebased tattoo-like electronic skin or e-skin, which could function as a wearable electronic device to monitor health. The stretchable e-skin mimics the human skin and can sense pressure, temperature, and stretch. It could be attached to human skin as well as masks and throats to measure breathing, heartbeat, and voice.
Mini teleprompter that works with your phone The next time when you are working on a video blog or have to deliver a speech, the Speech Text Prompts is all you need to make your prepared discourse look like an extempore. It is a mini teleprompter that prompts you to speak from an electronic visual text of a speech, using a smartphone. It is the smallest of its kind in the market with a screen size that fits a 6.5" smartphone screen and iPhone X.

A team of US researchers has developed an ‘artificial synapse’ that does not process information like a digital computer but rather mimics the way the human brain completes tasks. The discovery can lead to energy-efficient AI devices. The graphene-based neural networks can be employed in flexible and wearable electronics to enable computation at the ‘edge of the internet’ — places where computing devices such as sensors contact the physical world.
“By empowering even a rudimentary level of intelligence in wearable electronics and sensors, we can track our health with smart sensors, provide timely diagnostics, regulate and optimise the manufacturing process,” say the researchers.

Using wearable sensor technology, researchers have developed an automatic alert system that may help people to quit smoking by sending video messages. A smartphone app automatically texts 20 to 120-second video messages to smokers when the sensors detect specific arm and body motions associated with smoking. According to the researchers, the mobile alert system that they are testing may be the first that combines an existing online platform with mindfulness training and a personalised plan to quit smoking.

Falls are a common cause of injury in older adults and can create health problems. A recent study under NIH’s Women’s Health Initiative to predict an individual’s risk of falling made 67 participants, all over the age of 60, wear a small device with motion sensors that measured their walking patterns for one week. They found that data extracted from the devices could accurately predict the participants’ risk of falling, as measured by physical examinations of unsteadiness in standing and walking.
