wearable sensors
Wearable sensors provide physiological biomarkers, helping to determine reasons for an athlete's performance and the necessity of altering training to avoid injury.
The novel approach seeks to sidestep the need for bulky batteries, allowing health wearables and sensors to become smaller and less restrictive for the wearer.
Since their early days as wellness tools, these devices are now informing precision medicine initiatives and leading clinical studies.
Despite the patent, a re-entry into the wearables space seems unlikely for Microsoft, which just got out of that game earlier this year.
