Researchers at the University of Washington have developed smart earrings called Thermal Earrings that can continuously monitor a person’s earlobe temperature. The prototype is the size of a small paperclip and can track signs of ovulation, stress, eating, and exercise with a 28-day battery life. The earrings can be personalized with fashion designs and are designed to be compact and durable. The team used Bluetooth advertising mode to transmit data without using too much power, allowing for efficient power consumption. Potential applications include continuous fever monitoring, as well as tracking eating, exercising, and stress. The earrings are not yet available for commercial purchase, and further testing is needed for confirmation.
