For any individual with a serious health condition, the problem with wearable medical tech is feeling “marked” with a problem. The Embrace smartwatch aims to combat stigma with style. The minimalist design was created for epileptic patients and is used to alert both the person and others of oncoming attacks. The straightforward design keeps things uncomplicated – simply touch it to see the time and enjoy it on your wrist. When it needs to alert you, it will. You can access other health data via your smartphone.
Designers: Denis Olenik, Mladen Barbaric, Den Brooks, Olga Pechanko for Pearl Studios

The wearable Dialog band was designed to give epileptic patients peace of mind in their everyday lives. Using a mix of new technologies like miniature biometric sensors & flexible circuit boards, the discreet patch can be worn on the body or attached to a wristband where it wirelessly pairs with the user’s smartphone to notify them when it’s time to take medication or even alert the onset of a seizure. Collected biometric & environmental data can then be shared easily with physicians for overall more productive management of the condition.
