The patent protects Wearable Devices’ innovative neural measurement of weight, torque, and force applied with multiple real-world use-cases for Brain-Computer Interfaces, Industry 4.0, and Extended Reality
YOKNEAM ILLIT, ISRAEL, March 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”) (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (“AI")-powered touchless sensing wearables, announced that it has received a notice of allowance for its patent application entitled “Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device” by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Certain claims of the patent protect the Company’s revolutionary gesture-controlled interface ability to be used as wearable scale measuring real-world physical properties from the wrist. The patent covers, inter alia, the ability to estimate the weight of an object, the torque that the user applies fastening rotating objects such as screws and faucets, and measuring the force applied by a user when fastening a connector of an electrical cable harness, along with other innovations in the fields of voice commands, user experience, extended reality (“XR”) embodiment and brain computer interface.
The innovation covered by the patent may be beneficial in multiple real-world applications, with three dominant use cases: enhancing embodiment for individuals with severe disabilities, increasing productivity in logistics and industrial environments, and improving immersion in virtual environments.
The patent is part of the Company’s intellectual property (“IP”) strategy to broaden the protection of its core IP globally using patent families that cover multiple future applications of wearable bio-potential sensors and allows the Company to adapt its patent portfolio in real time to future changes in global markets.
“The newly allowed patent demonstrates the power of neural interfaces in enhancing everyday tasks - whether it’s weighing groceries, measuring the torque applied when closing a faucet, or ensuring connectors are properly fastened. Now that the patent is secured, we are diligently integrating these advanced features into our products to enrich our customers’ lives,” stated Mr. Guy Wagner, co-founder, President and Chief Science Officer of Wearable Devices Ltd.
