University of Washington researchers introduced the Thermal Earring, a wireless wearable that continuously monitors a user’s earlobe temperature. The smart earring prototype is about the size and weight of a small paperclip and has a 28-day battery life. The earring can be personalized with fashion designs made of resin or with a gemstone, without negatively affecting its accuracy.
