About eWEAR-X
The Stanford Wearable Electronics (eWEAR-X) Initiative is a center for multi-disciplinary expertise in engineering, medicine, and data science to enable the success of students, faculty, and collaborators in translational projects related to Embodied AI. Embodied AI comprises systems and interfaces by which AI interacts with the physical world for sensing, movement, manipulation, and communication. Embodied AI includes sensing as input for AI interpretation and instructions on action. Stanford U. is at the forefront of translational research at the intersection of technology, data science, and human health. eWEAR-X fosters breakthrough applications leading to future wearable solutions for the better health, life, and community. Applications for Embodied AI range from:
- e-Skin (electronic skin)
- Health monitoring
- Disease detection
- Robotic interfaces
- Neural interfaces
- Biosensors
- AI-insights from sensor data
- Drug/treatment delivery
- Human clinical trials
- Implantable electronics
- AR/VR
- Displays
- Hearables
- Edge computing
- e-Textiles
- Internet of Things
- Smart cities
- Driverless cars
Wearable electronics combine sensors and wireless communications to allow remote collection of vital information and more seamless human interfaces with technology. User-centric design and systems-level approaches are applied to create devices that are flexible and comfortable to wear while providing more accurate data. eWEAR-X encourages the development and use of AI for insights from wearables that benefit humanity.
