Silent supersonic aircraft
NASA's X-59 QueSST (quiet supersonic technology) will make its first test flight in 2022. It will be conducted, among other things, at Edwards Air Force Base in California. This is important because, for example, the first commercial supersonic airliner, Concorde, could not fly faster than the speed of sound over land.

If the tests are successful, NASA expects regulators to lift the ban on supersonic flights over land.

Sleep technologies
devices, “smart” alarm clocks, and other technologies have long bahrain number data been used to improve sleep quality. In 2021, Google introduced the second-generation Nest Hub with sleep tracking. Amazon is planning to release a similar device in 2022.

Personalized nutrition
After successful launches in the US, companies specializing in personalized nutrition will look to other markets and seek regulatory approvals to use their technologies in the treatment of diabetes and migraines. The publication does not name specific startups.

Health trackers
In 2021, devices like the Fitbit and Apple Watch are used primarily as fitness trackers, but with the development of telemedicine, the line between consumer and medical use is blurring. Smart watches can now measure blood oxygen levels, perform ECGs, and monitor heart rhythm disorders.

The following functions may include measuring blood glucose and alcohol levels, blood pressure and temperature.

Metaverse
In 2022, the metaverse will combine video games, social media, and other entertainment to “create new immersive experiences.” Games like Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite are stepping stones to creating a metaverse, and Facebook has already changed its name to Meta.
