Wearable Devices Secures U.S. Patent for Breakthrough Voice and Gesture Control Technology, Enhancing Leadership in AI Wearables Market

Yokneam Illit, Israel, Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ:WLDS, WLDSW)) (the "Company" or "Wearable Devices"), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence ("AI")-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted a significant patent titled "Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device" which covers a groundbreaking technology that integrates gesture recognition and voice control, enhanced by biometric authentication.

This patent positions Wearable Devices to capture significant share in high-growth segments, including consumer electronics and enterprise applications.

The newly granted patent enables a more natural and intuitive way for people to interact with smart devices, including smartphones, laptops, and extended reality (XR) systems. The patent refers to a system that combines the strengths of voice commands and gestures to create a fluid and precise user experience.

For instance, voice is ideal for high-level tasks, like issuing a command to connect a device, while gestures excel at precise, continuous adjustments. Instead of relying solely on one method, users can seamlessly combine both - issuing a voice command to initiate an action and then using a hand gesture for fine-tuned control.

This eliminates the awkwardness of using voice alone for detailed tasks or gestures alone for complex commands, showcasing the seamless synergy between the two modes of interaction.

The patent also includes an optional layer of biometric authentication using unique neural and voice signatures, which verifies the user's identity through personalized bio-signals. This enhanced security feature offers a significant advantage over traditional voice-only systems that lack a way to verify the user.

"While voice control is a powerful tool in smart environments, it often falls short in precision, personalization, and security," said Guy Wagner, co-founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Wearable Devices.

"By integrating gesture recognition and verifying the user through neural and voice-based signatures, we're redefining what natural interaction with technology looks like. This patent paves the way for interfaces that are not only intuitive but also personalized and secure, unlocking a more seamless and trustworthy human-machine relationship."

This patent complements Wearable Devices' growing intellectual property portfolio, which includes multiple patent families covering the use of bio-potential sensors for next-generation human-machine interfaces. The Company's strategy is to maintain flexible and global protection for technologies that enable natural, secure, and immersive interactions with digital devices.
