Sensor Technology: Wearable Sensors - Research and MarketsResearch and Markets has announced the addition of the "Sensor Technology-Wearable Sensors" report to their offering. This issue of Sensor Technology focuses on innovations in wearable sensors and provides insights on patents, funding, drivers and restraints, and companies to watch in 2016. A smart contact lens with built-in pressure sensor, a wireless sleeve for detecting muscle vibrations, a fall detector developed by SINTEF, and a wearable flexible rubber sticker have been discussed in this issue. The Sensor Technology TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) captures global sensor-related innovations and developments on a weekly basis. Innovations are directed toward developing smart and intelligent sensors with functionalities beyond sensing. Research focus areas include: low power snsors (energy harvesting), industrial automation sensors (M2M, vision sensor), ubiquitous sensor (WSN, sensor fusion), smart sensors (wearables, quantified self), high sensitivity and smaller size (MEMS, nanosensors), and improved security (CBRNE, terahertz). The need for low power, smaller, lighter sensors with enhanced performance attributes and minimal false alarms is driving innovations in the sensors space. The Sensors and Control cluster covers innovations pertaining to technologies such as wireless sensors and networks, energy harvesting, haptics and touch, MEMS and nanosensors, Terahertz, ubiquitous/smart sensors, CBRNE, quantified-self, sensor fusion, M2M communications, and drones.
