This paper delves deeply into the innovative realm of integrating human emotions with wearable technology. The primary focus is on the conceptualization and development of a kiss transfer device that harnesses the power of wearable technology to bridge the physical gap in human-human interactions. By investigating the intricate nuances of the human-human kissing process, the research seeks to replicate this intimate gesture through a technological medium. The paper not only elaborates on the anatomy, evolution, and hormonal dynamics of kissing but also underscores the transformative potential of wearable technology in capturing and transmitting these intimate moments. This exploration opens up new horizons for long-distance relationships, offering a tangible touchpoint that goes beyond traditional communication methods. Through this pioneering work, the research positions wearable technology as not just a tool for communication but as an extension of our human emotions and expressions.
Body temperature is often used to screen infectious diseases and monitor treatment. Through the method of measuring the resistance of constant voltage temperature measuring circuit, a wearable multi-point body temperature monitoring system is researched and designed to determine skin surface temperature. The STM32F103C8T6 chip is used as the core processor, and the negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) as the temperature sensing component. ADS1256 chip is a temperature signal conditioner, Bluetooth module is a wireless transmission unit, and LABVIEW is used to design the host computer interface. The constant voltage bridge circuit composed of thermistor and resistor voltage divider to carry out the acquisition of 8 channels of temperature data, and the 24bits ultra-high-precision analog-to-digital conversion module is configured with differential inputs to amplify, filter and convert analog signals; the converted data is processed and calculated in the single-chip microcomputer; finally, the data is transmitted to the host computer via Bluetooth. The thermistor is linearly compensated using the fourth-order formulation of the Stein-hart formula. Reduce the impact of environmental interference and uneven body temperature distribution from software and hardware. The error during the temperature measurement of temperature sensor is analyzed. The experimental results showed that the resolution of measurement system reached 0. 01 , and the temperature measurement accuracy was up to ± 0. 02 . This design scheme has high stability and accuracy; and the circuit is simple in structure, small in size, and low power consumption which can be used in occasions requiring precise body temperature measurement.

Abstract
In primary and high school settings, the benefits of incorporating technology into curricula have been addressed by several studies; however, wearable technology integration as experienced by physical education teachers is less prevalent. Physical education teachers’ lack of confidence teaching P.E. using wearables, along with a lack of appropriate preparation and unclear curricula frameworks that define how wearables could be used, are additional factors which require further exploration. As such, due consideration of the opportunities and barriers that physical education teachers encounter with wearable usage is presented. This article contributes to pedagogical practices in physical education using wearable technology. This is achieved by highlighting the opportunities that wearable technology presents as a student learning support tool as wearable allow cross curriculum learning opportunities with science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In this paper, the practicality and curriculum relevance of wearable usage in physical education is highlighted. Our paper discusses implications for research and practice and provides a knowledge base for the establishment of professional development courses based on teacher needs.

Abstract
This case study examines the use of wearable technology to monitor physiological and performance metrics during a 100+ km pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. The subject, a 34-year-old female amateur triathlete recovering from an ankle injury, used a Garmin Enduro device to track key data over five days. The study focuses on heart rate, speed, cadence, caloric expenditure, and environmental factors, shedding light on how wearable devices can provide valuable insights into endurance performance. Correlation analysis highlights significant relationships between physical performance and physiological markers, offering a deeper understanding of how such technology can enhance both athletic performance and the overall pilgrimage experience.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the relationship between wrist size and the comfort and fit of smartwatch wearability. Measurements of hand dimensions, including wrist width, palm length, finger length, and finger width, were taken from 41 participants. Based on the analysis results, participants were grouped by wrist width, and individuals from different groups were asked to subjectively rate the comfort, strap fit, and ease of operation of the smartwatch. The results revealed that wrist width significantly impacts wearing comfort, while other hand features (such as finger width) play a crucial role in the operational experience. Users with wider wrists rated strap fit and wearing pressure more favorably, whereas those with narrower wrists demonstrated superior touchscreen operation performance. Additionally, the significant effects of design factors such as strap material, dial size, and smartwatch weight on wearing experience were also validated. These findings provide valuable insights for smartwatch design, highlighting the necessity of considering variations in hand dimensions to enhance the overall user experience.
