Title: The Future of Wearable Technology

 Abstract: “Wearable technology is generally interpreted as electronic devices with passive and/or active electronic components worn on the human body … includes devices that are equipped with sensing abilities for body movements or biosignals and computational power …  Wearable devices can be distinguished by different levels of wearability: wearable devices integrated into clothing …  garment-integrated sensors.”  Dr. Gioberto, Ph.D. Dissertation (2015)

Starting from my doctoral dissertation, I will introduce the definition of True Wearable Sensing. I will then compare the latest research developments that meet such definition, highlighting advantages and limitations. I will conclude my presentation with a note on where I see the future of the wearable tech industry going.

Bio: Dr. Guido Gioberto is an expert in the area of garment-integrated sensing, pertaining to wearable technology. Dr. Gioberto completed his Doctorate in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota in 2015, introducing a novel theory and approach for body sensing. Dr. Gioberto joined the industry of wearable tech startups in 2014 with Athos (Redwood City, CA) to build a game-changing product in the field of true wearable technology: a smart garment capable of measuring muscle activation. Subsequently in 2019 Dr. Gioberto joined Cipher Skin (Denver, CO) where he is today the VP of Engineering leading the development of a revolutionary proprietary garment integrated technology solution to monitor biosignals and joint angles.
