Insights
WLDS received patent approval for hybrid voice-gesture technology, strengthening their IP portfolio and expanding potential market applications.
Wearable Devices has received a significant patent allowance from the USPTO for technology that integrates gesture recognition with voice control interfaces. This represents a strategic expansion of their intellectual property portfolio in the wearable bio-potential sensor space.
The approved patent, titled "Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device," introduces several key innovations that could provide WLDS with meaningful competitive advantages in the touchless interface market:
- Integration of gesture recognition with voice control for more natural human-machine interaction
- Personalization capabilities through combined neural and voice-based user authentication
- Multi-user support with unique gesture and voice signature recognition
The technology addresses significant limitations in current voice-only interfaces by adding gesture precision for fine-tuning actions. This could substantially improve user experiences across multiple high-value applications:
For AR/AI glasses, users can navigate maps and control functions using natural hand movements with voice commands. In smart homes, voice selects devices while gestures adjust settings. For healthcare applications, the technology enables sterile interface control in clinical settings - a particularly valuable use case where touchless control solves critical workflow problems.
What's particularly notable is how this patent extends WLDS's market potential beyond consumer applications into professional environments where hands-free, precise control delivers substantial workflow improvements. The patent strategically positions the company to adapt to emerging market needs while strengthening protection for their core sensor technology.
Newly allowed patent extends Wearable Devices’ innovative gesture technology into the domain of voice control
YOKNEAM ILLIT, ISRAEL, May 13, 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, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has allowed its patent titled “Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device.”
This patent represents a significant advancement in the Company’s strategic intellectual property (“IP”) portfolio, strengthening global protection for its core innovations in wearable bio-potential sensors. The Company’s IP strategy includes patent families designed to protect a wide spectrum of future applications, ensuring agility in response to emerging global market needs.
The newly allowed patent enables the integration of gesture recognition with voice control interfaces, introducing personalization features, and combining both neural and voice-based user authentication. This creates a more seamless, secure, and intuitive human-machine interaction.
The patented technology enables intuitive, hands-free interaction across a wide range of applications. For example, users wearing AI-powered or augmented reality (“AR”) glasses can navigate maps, control audio, and access virtual assistants using natural gestures and voice commands. In smart home applications, a user can use their voice to select a home appliance to control - such as the TV volume or air conditioning temperature - and then use subtle gestures to fine-tune the settings. In multi-user environments, such as smart homes or shared AR systems, the device intelligently recognizes individual users through unique gesture and voice signatures, delivering personalized experiences. In clinical or surgical settings, medical professionals can interact with digital interfaces - scrolling, zooming, or switching views - without compromising sterility, using only in-air gestures and voice cues.
“Voice control is an essential interface for smart environments, but it often lacks the precision, personalization and the security users need,” said Guy Wagner, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Wearable Devices. “By integrating voice and gesture-based interaction along with neural and voice-based user authentication, we’re bridging that gap, enabling users not only initiate actions by voice but also to fine-tune and personalize device behavior through intuitive gestures. This combination introduces a new dimension of seamless, secure, and intelligent human-computer interaction.”
