Attention, startups creating the next smartwatch or heart-rate sensing fabric: The Homeland Security Department wants your products.
DHS on Monday opened applications for the second round of its federally focused tech "accelerator," in search of wearable devices that can be customized for first responders.
The DHS program accepts early-stage companies whose products are designed for the commercial market, and that might incorporate embedded sensors, integrated voice control, and other wearable features. Accepted companies can demonstrate their products directly to first responders, investors and potential technology partners.
