Technological developments, especially basic science breakthroughs always been the industrial revolution and the business of driving force. Follow the forefront of technology, or concern wearable devices, must graphene is no stranger to the word, it must clearly graphene wearable device for what you mean, can give has been praised bring wearable device spring?

Mention wearable device, more or less able to think with Google glasses as the representative of all types of smart glasses, some of the big man led the Samsung smart watches, Nike + is a typical smart bracelet, as well as other development Oculus Rift virtual reality helmet. But the fact that these products are far from entering public life, although a blowout after a brief boom in the wearable device known as the first year of 2014, but soon was quiet. If you only consider the reasons for the user side, we can find mainly two things: first, the price is still expensive products, such as Google looks tall glasses on, only the technology craze and there will patronize human capital; the second is poor user experience, in fact, shipments of smart phones ring is not low, but generally have been criticized, and ultimately abandoned part of the user.

2015 Spring Conference, Apple officially released Apple Watch, different from the previous release of Apple products brought shock, this did not lead to screaming, generally half-open, surprised and disappointed coexist. Although we can not put Apple as the best benchmark, but enough to become a leader. So Apple Watch suffered dissatisfaction can largely reflect the current situation facing the wearable device up. Do not discuss the function of complicated and simple is better, from the technical level to summarize three wearable device pain.

First, the ergonomic shape on adaptation. Apple's industrial design is of course not to say, really enough in appearance to throw off a few blocks of ordinary intelligence watches. However, concerned persons must also remember that before iWatch concept map, it is an integral circular strap, carrying thereon the natural bent of the display, but it could not really be achieved. Most people like to wear round watch, especially women, and the aesthetic side of this circle is not much, but the inevitable human anatomy. Square watch worn people will have a feeling, that is tired, because there are always some that can not fit their skin, so there is a tight feeling. Coupled with each person's wrist is different, especially there is a big difference between children and adults, male and female, a watch would be very difficult to make users feel comfortable. And really good shape, you should be able to construct ergonomic adaptation, for wearable devices, it is the most important screen to achieve this effect, now we do not see this product. And then extended to the human body, one can not be self-adaptation of electronic products, do another little can not really allow users to have a natural feel.

Second, not open around the power consumption. "At night charged, have fun wearing a day," Apple tried its excellent copywriter will become the biggest drawbacks of Apple Watch gladly accepted. But wearable devices for entrepreneurs, this is a not open around the problem. I have done a smart watch product, try to increase the battery capacity and reduce power consumption levels of various software algorithm design, and ultimately can only guarantee 48 hours of battery life. We have discussed that in the smart phone requires a daily charge of age, life is really so important? Unfortunately, even geeks do not care about this charge trouble, wearable device of the user who is very concerned about . A user survey for life time, a week minimum acceptable charge.

Third, you can not choose the sensor. This time Apple has made a difficult choice, had to look forward to monitoring blood pressure and the pressure is removed, Apple Watch can not avoid the fall into the "motion detection" Non just need the. Wearable device of the two main theme is intelligent and quantified, both are inseparable from the sensor, that collectors of data. Basically a product to decide what kind of sensor, its functions do give a clear limit. I always thought that true outlet wearable medical devices, after all, compared to the human inertia, the fear of death more people willing to pay. Around that fire up smart devices, including blood glucose meters, skin testing and air purifiers, it is actually associated with the person's health highly. This is precisely the shortcomings are wearable device, which is smart watches, smart bracelets and other carriers can not be equipped with more appropriate sensing this limitation of the decision.

Apple's products has always been considered the benchmark for the corresponding variety of breakthrough technologies used in the iPhone Apple really worth by this honor. So why did Apple Watch can make people feel a sense of some of the technical aspects of the competition is much to throw off the kind of change? Is not the above-mentioned three is the bane? Of course not.

An international team of scientists recently included professors from the University of Exeter's Monica Craciun including successfully created a new technology, transparent, flexible graphene electrodes embedded in the fabrics usually used for textile industry being. This breakthrough has given us hope to see future wearable device on a flexible structure adapted to the human body, it is conceivable as is now woven into the fabric of clothing as wearable device really can be "woven" together.

Wearable device for monitoring and management of health care

Graphene is a new material was born. But ten years, but has been receiving worldwide attention, the pioneers also won the Nobel Prize, and even now has shown a trend of graphene replace silicon. Graphene as electrical originals, there are three of the most advantageous features: transparency, flexibility, electrical conductivity and strong. Electrical originals then graphene-based or an improved wearable device can give what change?

First, graphene is transparent and flexible way wearable device truly wearable. As previously stated, now fatally flawed wearable device to the adapter body structure, and only can be bent, even before any change of graphene could really any adaptation of our body.

Second, strong conductive graphene is one way to solve the problems of life. Wearable device currently used graphene battery is not available, but in the field of electric vehicles has already set off waves of subversion. Before Tesla CEO Musk said, using the graphene Tesla Motors, soon be able to travel 805 km, compared to the current ordinary battery energy density increase of nearly 70%; Spain Colva University, said more work out first case polymeric material graphene battery, so that the electric car can travel up to 1,000 kilometers, while the charging time of less than 8 minutes. Charging time can run 500-600 kilometers. "Life is short, long charging time" is one of the major criticism wearable device is now facing, so graphene obvious to a way out.

Third, more perfect sense. Now we see the sensor, will inevitably depend on the silicon wafer, and then even made small, can not avoid feeling stiff. As early as in 2014, the Irish scientists use graphene invented a new wearable sensors for monitoring blood pressure, respiration, capable of warning of sudden infant death, and sleep apnea. Because the information was originally collected the human condition is to collect the most respected bioelectricity, bio-electricity of the human body through conductive rubber conductive to the sensor. The use of graphene, graphene import rubber, it is possible to enhance conductivity, so that the sensor can be arbitrarily deformed freely attached to the body, intelligence and quantify the required data collection is no longer a difficult trade-offs.

Of course, there are a lot of people are not optimistic about the graphene, graphene is more commercialized yet reached the scale. In the next field of wearable devices that are promising, there is no birth use graphene to produce transformational impact of products. But I believe that graphene singular point has arrived, as predicted by Huawei Ren Zhengfei, like, ten years or so graphene will subvert silicon era, and I believe that before this, wearable devices will inevitably have to produce change, graphene era arrival wearable device must be strong at the moment and lasting spring. My friends ah bite technology, nor is it to do a few smart home products, with a with a wave, but to make a change and insurgents. As the field of wearable device want to have some achievements of entrepreneurs, they should have the same courage to change jobs and dare use by others dared not even dare think of using cutting-edge technology to make a landmark product.
