Hey, welcome to this week’s Mr Wearable newsletter. If you haven’t yet already, follow us on Twitter.

Here are the ultra-quick wearable tech industry hits of the week:

  1. SafeGuard, Polar Verity & Garmin Are Helping One Texas Construction Company Battle The Heat

  2. Research Nester Predicts $50B Sleep Tech Market by 2035

  3. Israel's Wearable Devices Ltd. to Showcase Touchless AI Wristband

  4. Samsung's Next Big Thing: The 'Galaxy Ring' Looms

1. Texas Construction is Tackling Heat with Trendy Wearable Tech

As Texas thermometers keep topping triple digits, Dallas's Rogers-O’Brien Construction is piloting wearable tech to keep workers safe.

Teaming up with SafeGuard software, the crew's arms are decked out with Polar Verity sensors and Garmin watches, monitoring biometrics in real-time — it's the same tech NASA and Boeing have their eyes on for space missions.

Our Sense: This fusion of safety and tech might just set a new standard, turning 'dangerous jobs' into data-driven, safer professions.

2. Sweet Dreams for Sleep Tech: Research Nester Predicts $50B Market by 2035

With sleep tech's global market poised for a robust 15% CAGR (Compound annual growth rate) from 2023 to 2035, Research Nester forecasts a jump from $13B in 2022 to a whopping $50B by 2035.

  • “The wearables segment in sleep tech devices market is anticipated to hold the largest share over the forecast period.”

This surge, they suggest, is fueled by growing sleep app usage in the US, China, and India, and an uptick in sleep disorders globally.

3. Israel's Wearable Devices Ltd. to Showcase Touchless AI Wristband

Israel-based tech juggernaut Wearable Devices Ltd. is set to showcase its game-changing Mudra Neural Input Interface at tinyML Talks on August 15. Expect a deep dive into how this neural wristband is reshaping digital interaction, especially within Apple's ecosystem.

In layman’s: The firm is set to present its innovative tech that allows users to interact with devices without physically touching them.

4. Samsung's Next Big Thing: The ‘Galaxy Ring’ Looms

Post the Samsung Unpacked 2023 extravaganza, whispers are swirling about Samsung's next play: a smart ring. South Korean sources hint that the Galaxy Ring's production might kick off as soon as August, but with regulatory hoops to jump through, don't expect it to adorn fingers before 2024.
