What are brain-monitoring wearables and how do they measure neural activity?

Wearable health technology has spent the past decade focused on the body. Smartwatches measure heart rate. Smart rings track sleep and recovery. Continuous glucose monitors observe metabolic responses. The next frontier may be the brain. Brain-monitoring wearables represent an emerging category of consumer neurotechnology designed to capture electrical activity produced by the brain and translate…

What is gesture control in wearable devices and how does it work?

Wearable devices are evolving from passive health trackers into interactive computing platforms. One of the technologies driving this shift is gesture control — the ability for a device to interpret hand or finger movements as digital commands. Gesture control wearables detect subtle muscle signals or motion patterns and translate them into inputs for digital systems…

What is a fasting-mimicking diet and how does it influence metabolic and ageing pathways?

For decades, fasting has been studied as one of the most powerful metabolic interventions affecting health and longevity. In laboratory animals, calorie restriction and fasting can extend lifespan, improve metabolic resilience, and influence cellular repair mechanisms. The challenge has always been practical: prolonged fasting is difficult to maintain. The fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) emerged as an…

Symptoms of hidden dental infections and why they are often missed

Hidden dental infections are chronic, low-grade infections in the teeth, surrounding tissues, or jawbone that often produce minimal local symptoms but may contribute to systemic inflammation and ongoing health issues. They challenge one of the most deeply held assumptions in dentistry: that pain equals problem, and absence of pain equals health. In many cases, that…

Root canals and autoimmune disease: what the science says

Root canals and autoimmune disease are often linked through theories of chronic inflammation and immune activation, but current scientific evidence does not establish a clear, direct causal relationship. This is one of the most contested topics in modern dentistry. Biological dentistry often treats root canal-treated teeth as potential contributors to systemic illness. Conventional dentistry, by…
