Dring: Nov’in, yet another French startup, created a smart walking stick, which incorporates motion sensors and GPS technology. AI algorithms process data collected from the cane, helping to detect unusual situations like falls or reduced activity. The cane can send alerts to a caregiver, and the user can also call for help from a button on the walking stick.

E-skin: This smart shirt from Xenoma uses printed circuit fabric to capture body movement through 14 sensors. The shirt has applications for gaming, healthcare, fitness and more, according to representatives from the company. When the computing hub is removed from the chest, the shirt is machine washable.

Nemonic: This little cube from Mangoslab prints out custom sticky notes in seconds, using thermal printing technology, instead of ink or toner. Users can jot down ideas, reminders or doodles on the connected app and store them on the cloud or print them out.

Spartan boxer-briefs: This French startup cheekily promises to “save humanity” with radiation-blocking boxer-briefs, made of cotton and silver fibers. The metal fibers are essentially a Faraday cage for the family jewels, blocking 99% of radiation from cellphones and WiFi devices, according to Spartan. As an added bonus, the boxer-briefs are odor-resistant, thanks to silver’s antimicrobial properties.
