Therefore, the validation of ranges for body height, BMI and wearables should include the target sample for a given skin tone (Fitzpatrick scale) device, including an equal distribution of men and women of different body height (e.g. by including children, adolescents and adults), BMI and skin tone. Alternatively, manufacturers may decide to assess the validity of a given device in a very specific population (i.e. overweight adults). For this, a homogenous sample should be included. 1.2 Sample size For homogenous samples, we recommend a minimum of 45 Explain how the sample size was participants as a rule of thumb [43]. Yet, it is advised to selected conduct a pilot study to obtain the mean and standard deviation of differences between the wearable consumer device and the criterion measure and consider a pre-defined clinical maximum allowed difference to conduct a prior sample size calculation [42].

    The Market for Hearable Devices 2016-2020 And then there were Airpods… Apple’s unexpected entry into the hearables market heralds a period of major change. The result is likely to be a faster move to wireless headphones, an acceleration in the take-up of earbuds, and the prospect of an overall market revenue exceeding $40 billion in 2020.

The Market for Hearable Devices 2016 - 2020 And then there were Airpods. On September 7th 2016, Apple made three announcements that look set to alter the course of the hearables market. One had been predicted – the removal of the 3.5mm audio jack from the iPhone 7. It was a change that they described as courageous, but which many decried as retrograde. However, it fundamentally changed the dynamics of the market for wireless headphones. The second two announcements were much bigger surprises. Apple had designed its own wireless chip, and they were entering the hearables world by launching their own brand of earbuds, known as Airpods. Both were unexpected moves. The pistol starting the hearables race had already been fired, but now it became obvious that the race was serious.

  • HEARABLES: ELEARNING in the WORKPLACE Rory Mcgreal, Athabasca University, Canada
    Connecting through Educational Technology Proceedings of the European Distance and E-Learning Network 2019 Annual Conference Bruges, 16-19 June, 2019 ISBN 978-615-5511-27-1 ISSN: 2707-2819 doi: https://doi.org/10.38069/edenconf-2019-ac-0012 HEARABLES: ELEARNING IN THE WORKPLACE Rory McGreal, Athabasca University, Canada Introduction Hearables, a term first coined by Hunn (2014), are wireless smart micro-computers with artificial intelligence that incorporate both speakers and microphones. They fit in the ears and can connect to the internet and to other devices; they are designed to be worn daily. These devices, such as the Bragi Dash, Vinci and Bose Hearphone are now appearing on the market, which is expected to exceed $40 billion in the USA by 2020 (Omnicom, 2018). Hearables are not headphones, nor hearing aids, nor ear plugs, although they could take on the affordances of any of these devices (Banks, 2018). Headphones are designed for listening to music. Hearing aids are designed as an aid for the hearing impaired. Ear plugs reduce unwanted sounds by cancelling noise. Hearables offer comparable features and additionally provide users with a microphone and connectivity to the internet supporting telephony and personal digital assistant (PDA) services (Computational Thinkers, n.d.). Prior to 2017, in the USA, such devices required the approval of the Food and Drug Administration. This approval is no longer required for hearables, as they are no longer considered to be medical hearing aids (Over the Counter Hearing Aid Act, 2017). This paves the way for the expansion in the market of significantly lower-priced hearables, undercutting the expensively-priced hearing aid market.
