Circuits evening panel discussion 2: Wearable electronics: Still an oasis or just a mirage for the semiconductor industry?

Wearable devices have been on the mind of the semiconductor industry for several years now. The vision was of a highly sensorized human, with electronic devices providing localized, always-available functionality for a range of applications, including medical, health and wellness, lifestyle, etc. But, has this vision panned out? Is the technology there? Was there any application-level value to begin with? What is the relationship with broader sensing visions (e.g., IoT)? The collective wisdom of industrial and academic research over the last five years has made some progress in these areas - what have we learned? and how might the vision be revised? This session brings together panelists representing commercialization, emerging technologies, medical applications, and broader questions facing the domain of wearable electronics to tackle some of these questions.
