Decades of research have revealed that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) from activity trackers and other wearables as well as other wireless sources – including Bluetooth and 5G – is biologically harmful.  In fact, manufacturers are required to provide consumers with warnings about radiation emissions from all wireless devices!  Nevertheless, in addition to earbuds, “smart” watches and rings, different kinds of wireless “smart” wearables continue to be created and promoted for a variety of purposes.  In November, it was a “smart badge” that “comes equipped with a camera, text messaging, an AI-powered virtual assistant and – its most sci-fi-adjacent feature – a 720p-resolution interface that projects onto a user’s palm, called a Laser Ink Display.”  More recently, it’s “smart” earrings.

New smart earrings stylishly track body temperature better than a smartwatch

University of Washington researchers introduced the Thermal Earring, a wireless wearable that continuously monitors a user’s earlobe temperature. The smart earring prototype is about the size and weight of a small paperclip and has a 28-day battery life. The earring can be personalized with fashion designs made of resin or with a gemstone, without negatively affecting its accuracy. CREDIT: Raymond Smith/University of Washington
