Jeff Gamet and Chuck Joiner continue their discussion of wearables on The Mac Show on The British Tech Network, turning to smart glasses and smart clothes. Issues that crop up include power usage and privacy concerns over potentially intimate tracking, privacy, and data collection. They touch on the past Apple-Nike collaboration, and debate the accuracy of step counts in wearables. Other possible issues include kinetic charging, extra batter power, and more.

Techstination interview: PYKRS smart jacket with warming, fall detection & more
Pneumonia kills 2000 children every day, many of them in Africa. Most of these deaths are preventable especially if the disease is detected and treated early but that's simply not the case especially in vulnerable and marginalized communities across our continent. My guest today has had enough of this situation. So, her and her co-founder set out to do something about it. Her name is Olivia Koburongo and she is the CEO and co-founder of a device and software company known as MamaOpe based in Kampala, Uganda. Her and her team invented a "smart" jacket that helps with the early detection of pneumonia in children. It uses acoustic technology, supported by an intuitive algorithm, to detect early signs of disease. It is potentially a game changer particularly in contexts where resources are highly constrained. You can learn more about MamaOpe by visiting: http://mamaope.com/, Twitter @mama_ope and LinkedIn @mamaope medicals. If you have any thoughts on this episode, or recommendations of African health innovators that you'd like me to host on the show, please reach out to me directly on Twitter @DrSam_Oti, email: sam.oti@alumni.harvard.edu or via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuel-oji-oti.

In this edition of "15 Minutes of Motorcycles" I spend about 40 minutes (OK...the name is a little misleading ;-) ) reading listener email from the last edition and also about the Fieldsheer and Mobile Warming heated gear that I wear, so I can keep riding all year long on Long Island. I discuss the pros and cons of the jacket, gloves and glove liners I have, so you know some factors to consider if you are looking to buy or upgrade heated gear from these or from other manufactures.

The Levi's Commuter x Google Jacquard smart jacket is the first of its kind – a commercially ready piece of wearable tech that's both fashionable and washable. But more than that, it's one of the only "devices" out there aiming to tackle the idea of obsolescence, Paul Dillinger, VP of global product innovation at Levi's, says. The jacket itself is designed for urban cyclists, or as Dillinger refers to it, "for people who live in the city and need to get around". It's based on the existing Levi's Commuter Trucker jacket, but embedded with technology in the sleeve in order for it to operate a number of useful functionalities for wearers. It launched to the public in September 2017 for $350 in stores and online. "It's a classical denim trucker jacket that is designed to make an urban cyclist's life a little safer, a little lighter, a little better. To that we've then added about 15 rows of capacitive yarn in the left cuff, that forms an area that is capable to be touched." Users can tap or swipe in that spot to then control various utilities including playing music, getting GPS directions, answering or rejecting calls and more. It is connected via Bluetooth to your phone to do so. The key, according to Dillinger, was about making it still feel like a fashion item. "(The jacket) had to feel like a Levi's product not a piece of Google technology," he says. But it had to function to the same level of a Google technology too. We had to take a lot of time to weave it in so that it was working but not visible, trying to make it look and feel right." The aim now is to constantly improve on that functionality to make it increasingly more useful to the user too. "The spring [update] of this product won't be a new object, it will be new abilities. We built digital platforms so that the jacket never gets obsolete," Dillinger explains. In partnership with Google, the team studies user behaviour data to gain indications of how they should be improving. That approach is a marked difference for the two industries involved. Tech is usually designed to be replaced. It's the reason we all upgrade our iPhones. By comparison, in fashion – despite the shift towards disposable clothing at the cheaper end of the market – the ideal is for longevity. Denim from Levi's frequently falls into that latter category. "The challenge is to make it something that people will want to wear, and something that is more like a platform, that can improve itself," Dillinger notes. This is a jacket that's essentially a piece of software more than hardware then, with upgrades that install automatically. "We started selling in September. By the holidays the users got a notification on their app saying, your jacket just got better, we have capabilities that are improved," he adds. "We're giving people a reason to keep a garment longer, not less, and we're giving them an improved version of something they already know. So rather than giving you the bad feeling of something going out of fashion, we're giving you the opposite feeling by improving over time what you already bought."
The Levi’s Commuter x Google Jacquard jacket is the first of its kind – a commercially ready piece of wearable tech that’s both fashionable and washable. But more than that, it’s one of the only “devices” out there aiming to tackle the idea of obsolescence, Paul Dillinger, VP of global product innovation at Levi’s, says in an episode of "TheCurrent Innovators" podcast with host Liz Bacelar. The jacket itself is designed for urban cyclists, or as Dillinger refers to it, “for people who live in the city and need to get around”. It’s based on the existing Levi’s Commuter Trucker jacket, but embedded with technology in the sleeve in order for it to operate a number of useful functionalities for wearers.
