New continuation patent protects the ability to authenticate users from their unique biological signals, unlocking secure payments, user detection, and authorized actions

Yokneam Illit, Israel, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW) (“Wearable Devices” or the “Company”), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for a new continuation patent in its foundational patent family titled “Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device.”

This continuation patent application, for which Notice of Allowance has been received, is expected to significantly strengthen the Company’s intellectual property portfolio by covering technologies relating to authentication of users based on combined gesture and unique biological signals. The allowed claims cover a gesture interface device and method that combine gesture sensors with biopotential sensors to record neural signals when the device is worn. The processor analyzes sensed gestures against a personalized gesture signature and builds a gesture metric space that clusters gestures of the same user while separating different users enabling highly accurate user verification.

The technology described in the allowed claims may enable powerful new use cases such as secure payments, user detection, and authorization of sensitive actions, providing a seamless, secure, and intuitive layer of biometric protection on top of the Company’s hybrid voice-and-gesture control platform.

“Biometric authentication using biological signals is the natural and most secure evolution of our neural interface technology,” said Guy Wagner, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Wearable Devices. “By verifying not just what gesture was performed but who performed it, we are closing the security gap in touchless interfaces. This development positions our Mudra platform as a trusted solution for payments, enterprise access control, and personalized experiences in AR/VR and smart environments.”

This latest allowance continues Wearable Devices’ IP strategy, further solidifying its leadership in AI-powered neural input wearables and creating additional barriers to entry for competitors in the rapidly growing human-computer interaction market.
