CDR director speaks with IBM about the future of wearable AI

Director of the University of Kansas School of Architecture & Design's Center for Design Research, Gregory Thomas, spoke with IBM about the future of wearable Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

"...'Wearables are really important, especially in healthcare where they need to be seamless,” Thomas explains. “Patients don’t want to feel trapped or like guinea pigs.'

"In his work, Thomas has explored smart devices in automobiles, and how new technologies can enable diagnostics and patients’ treatments in rural Kansas. 'We’ve looked at things that work well for us. There’s promising tech that weaves sensors into fabric. So my shirt, your blouse—it could be loaded with sensors that monitor heart rate, temperature and other vitals while the patient is just lying in bed. Wearables have an incredible future if they’re paired with the right technologies, like language processing.'"
